Spike (S) glycoprotein (sometimes also called spike protein, formerly known as E2) is the largest of the four major structural proteins found in coronaviruses. The spike protein assembles into trimers that form large structures, called spikes or peplomers, that project from the surface of the virion.
Jun 14, 2021 · As a predominant focus, coronavirus spike (S) protein plays an essential role in coronavirus infection, pathogenicity, transmission, and evolution. 1 Changes in just a few residues around the spike protein can dramatically affect the infectivity, tropism, and pathogenesis of the virus. 2, 3, 4 Furthermore, potential adaptive mutations in the ...
