SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors.

Bispecific antibodies targeting multiple SARS-CoV-2 sites offer enhanced neutralization against emerging variants, advancing ...

Researchers at Wuhan lab discovered a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which shares entry pathways with SARS-CoV-2 but poses limited risk to humans. Researchers at China’s Wuhan Institute of ...

A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it could someday spread ...

The researchers reported that similar to SARS-CoV-2, the bat virus HKU5-CoV-2 possesses a furin cleavage site that facilitates cell entry through the ACE2 receptor protein located on the surface ...

However, this newly identified lineage, HKU5-CoV-2, has been shown to attach to human ACE-2 receptors—proteins that act as entry points for viruses in the ... is distinct from sarbecovirus subgenus to ...

it does not do so as efficiently as SARS-CoV-2. To advertise here, Contact Us The study found that HKU5-CoV-2 contains a furin cleavage site, a feature that enhances viral entry into cells via the ...
