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

Identification of HKU5-CoV-2 (a member of the HKU5 lineage 2), a new merbecovirus found in bats of Zhejiang, Anhui, and ...

A SARS-CoV-2 antibody, NT-108, exhibits potent therapeutic effects in vivo. Cryo-EM structure of the spike complexed with single-chain Fv of NT108 reveals its neutralizing mechanism, providing ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has been observed to infect human neurons ... where the virus is first taken up into an intracellular structure known as an endosome. In the endosome, enzymes such as cathepsins ...

This short article uses mutation counts in phylogenies of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes to show that mutation rates systematically differ between regions that are paired or unpaired in the predicted ...
