Illustration of a Sars-CoV-2 virus bound to an ACE2 receptor on the surface of a human cell. The spike proteins play an important role for virus entry into cells. They bind to ACE2 receptors on the cell surface with their receptor binding domain (RBD). Once attached to the ACE2 receptor, the spike protein triggers the process of membrane fusion and virus entry. | |
