LANL: New 3D Atomistic Imagery Created Of SARS-CoV-2 Shows How Virus Uses Spike Protein To Fuse With And Infect Human Cells
Molecular simulations of the coronavirus spike protein enable the first visualizations of the region of the spike that anchors to human host cells (called the fusion region). Multiple angled views of the spike protein (green) are superimposed, illustrating the dynamic nature of the fusion region (bulb shaped region towards bottom), overlaid with experimental data determined from cryogenic electron microscopy (shown in cyan).
