SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in a membrane patch and bonded to its angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, molecular model. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is shown here embedded in a patch of stylized membrane. Each of the three identical subunits, coloured green, lavender and orange, has a receptor bonding domain that can be either extended or closed. Here, the green chain is extended, and it is also bonded to its host receptor protein, ACE2 (gold). The lavender and orange chains are in closed positions. | |
