SARS-CoV-2 spike protein bonded to its angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, molecular model. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is a trimer of identical subunits, coloured here in blue, green and lavender. Each protein chain has a receptor bonding domain that can be either extended or closed. In this structure, the green chain is extended, and it is also bonded to its host receptor protein, ACE2 (orange). The blue and lavender chains are closed states. | |
