SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein
Primary structure: Secondary structure: Tertiary structure: Quaternary structure:
Function
The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein helps extract antibodies that neutralize viruses into the body. To enter a cell and start an infection, the spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 interacts with the human ACE2 receptor.
Disease
The SARS_CoV-2 virus causes an infectious disease called Coronavirus (COVID-19). Coronavirus emerged in December of 2019. Most people infected with the disease experience an array of symptoms including fever, headaches, fatigue, sore throat, cough, etc. The spike protein is on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which then initiate infection in host cells.
