The molecular basis for SARS-CoV-2 binding to dog ACE2

Many domestic animals, among them dogs, have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, the authors present the crystal structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) bound to its receptor, dog angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (dACE2), and show that the...
