Bat and pangolin coronavirus spike glycoprotein structures provide insights into SARS-CoV-2 evolution
The spike glycoprotein in coronaviruses is a key viral protein for cross-species transmission and infection. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of the spike ectodomains from bat and pangolin coronaviruses, compare them with the available SARS-CoV-2 spike structures and discuss implicat...
