Research Paper Comparison of S2 Subunits of the Spike (S) Glycoprotein From Different Strains of SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19), Aiming to Understand the S2 Role in Virus Transfection Which May Help Its Harness

3D models of the SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV2 spike-proteins (S-protein) were constructed, analyzed, and evaluated using the SARS-CoV spike-structure (PDB No.5X58) as a reference and a unique insertion in the S2 region of COVID-19 may enhance the virus’s ability to target cells that express the appropriate proteases and rece...
