A glycan controls how SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein opens, study finds – News-Medical.Net
Using simulations, a team of researchers in the U.S. found that the glycan at position N343 of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein’s receptor-binding domain (RBD) helps…
Using simulations, a team of researchers in the U.S. found that the glycan at position N343 of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein’s receptor-binding domain (RBD) helps in its opening. A mechanism that aids its binding to the host cell receptor.
The key structure of the SARS-CoV-2 that allows it to infect host cells is the spike protein, which is present on the virus surface. Among the several structures of the spike protein defined, most are conformations…
