Northwestern University researchers have uncovered a new vulnerability in the novel coronavirus’ infamous spike protein – illuminating a relatively simple, potential treatment pathway.
The spike protein contains the virus’ binding site, which adheres to host cells and enables the virus to enter and infect the body. Using nanometer-level simulations, the researchers discovered a positively charged site (known as the polybasic cleavage site) located 10 nanometers from the actual binding site on t…
