The spike protein of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, binds to ACE2, a receptor on the host cells, which allows the virus to enter the cells and infect it. Binding is the first step for infection, and ...

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

"The 'key' is the viral spike protein and the 'lock' is the cell's ACE2 receptor. The 'teeth' on the key are the spike amino acid residues, which match the pattern of ACE2 amino acids, the 'pins ...
