Structures and dynamics of the novel S1/S2 protease cleavage site loop of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein
At the end of 2019, a new highly virulent coronavirus known under the name SARS-CoV-2 emerged as a human pathogen. One key feature of SARS-CoV-2 is the presence of an enigmatic insertion in the spike glycoprotein gene representing a novel multibasic S1/S2 protease cleavage site. The proteolytic clea...
