Zn‐Induced Interactions Between SARS‐CoV‐2 orf7a and BST2/Tetherin
Abstract We present in this work a first X‐ray Absorption Spectroscopy study of the interactions of Zn with human BST2/tetherin and SARS‐CoV‐2 orf7a proteins as well as with some of their complexes. The analysis of the XANES region of the measured spectra shows that Zn binds to BST2, as well as to o...
