Nanomechanical Analysis of Coronavirus Spike proteins and Correlation with Infectivity and Lethality
The novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, has spread rapidly around the world. Its causative virus, SARS-CoV-2, enters human cells through the physical interaction between the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of its spike protein and the human cell receptor ACE2. As an increasing number of variants of S...
