3.1 Mechanism of SARSCoV2 entry and infection
The binding of CoVs to host cell surface receptors and membrane fusion processes are mediated by the Spike (S) protein composed of two subunits (S1 and S2).3 In the case of SARSCoV2, the cleavage and activation of S protein are governed by the intracellular protease TMPRSS2 to generate unlocked, fusioncatalysed forms on the cell surface.
