The spike protein is induced for optimal binding when it is clipped by a protease (see animation on right side) and more details at '''[[SARS-CoV-2_protein_S_activation_by_furin]]'''. Subsequently, it undergoes a dramatic transformation to induce membrane fusion and infection, explained with a morph animation at '''[[SARS-CoV-2 spike protein fusion transformation]]'''. | A video (by [http://elarasystems.com Elara)] shows how the virus [http://youtu.be/hwVl_-lnoys '''interacts with its human (host) cells'''], via its ''spike'' proteins<ref name="Pillay">PMID:32376714</ref><ref name="McLellan">PMID:32075877</ref><ref name="Veesler">PMID:32155444</ref><ref name="wrobel">PMID: 32647346</ref><ref name="thomas">PMID:12360192</ref><ref name="wang-qi">PMID:32275855</ref>, thus permitting the viral genome to enter its host & begin infection.
