Cryo-EM analysis of the HCoV-229E spike glycoprotein reveals dynamic prefusion conformational changes
The spike protein of coronaviruses (S-protein) is an envelope-anchored trimeric type I transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates receptor binding and the fusion of the viral and host cell membranes. Here the authors report the conformational states of HCoV-229E S trimer and observe the conformational...

| Sumario: | The spike protein of coronaviruses (S-protein) is an envelope-anchored trimeric type I transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates receptor binding and the fusion of the viral and host cell membranes. Here the authors report the conformational states of HCoV-229E S trimer and observe the conformational changes in S1 subunit from closed state to activated state for receptor binding. |
