| + | The Spike protein is related to the novel coronavirus pandemic discovered in 2019. The virus is named as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) and it belongs to the β coronavirus family. The SARS-COV-2 is a single stranded RNA with 29,881bp length, which encodes for 9860 amino acids. It is compose of two proteins: the structural and non-structural proteins. The structural proteins are S,E,M and N ; whiles as the non-structural proteins are encoded on the ORF regions. | ||

| + | The S-protein is a structural protein extends from the viral membrane and it is uniformly arranged as a trimer on the surface to give the crown-like appearance of the SARS-COV-2. The Spike protein is 14-1255bp long, which mediates a receptor binding and fusion of the virus and a cellular membrane. Is also gives the virus its name in Latin as "Corona". | ||

| - | SARS-COV-2 | + | The S-protein of the SARS-COV-2 has two main subunits , an S1 and S2 subunits. The S1 subunit is located on residue #14–685 ( contains the NTD) and interact with human AEC2 by attaching its virion to the cell membrane by interacting with host receptor. The S2 subunit is located on residue #686–1273 ( contains the CT) which serves as the fusion protein of the virus. |

| + | Before the Spike protein can be activated , it has to be cleaved by the protease Furin protein. | ||

| - | The two subunits of the s-protein ; S1 and S2 interact with other proteins like the 3a and 7a on the SARS-COV-2. The s-protein has other protein modifications such as the amino acid modification in which there is a disulfide bond, Glycosylation with an N-liked to asparagine of the host cell . There is also a post-translation modification where the Spike glycoprotein is digested within host endosomes. | ||
