Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the risks that novel coronaviruses pose to human health, particularly focusing on the spike protein, which is crucial for viral entry into host cells.
- The interaction between the spike protein and the ACE2 receptor, along with host proteases, is essential for the efficient infection process and the neutralization of the virus by antibodies.
- The study also examines mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 variants that affect viral entry, and discusses the Canyon Hypothesis to explain the evolutionary changes in these viral proteins amid ongoing transmission.
