Lys417 acts as a molecular switch that regulates the conformation of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
SARS-CoV-2 spike protein plays a key role in mediating viral entry and inducing host immune responses. It can adopt either an open or closed conformation based on the position of its receptor-binding domain (RBD). It is yet unclear what causes these conformational changes or how they influence the s...
