Description
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)is the strain of coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the respiratory illness responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Like other coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 is comprised of four structural proteins: spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid(N) proteins. The spike (S) protein is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is comprised of two subunits, S1 and S2. Within the S1 subunit is a receptor binding domain (RBD), that is responsible for binding to the receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)and allowing the virus to enter host cells. As the RBD is responsible for initial viral entry into the host cell,it has become an attractive target for therapeutics and vaccines
