Conformational reorganization of the SARS coronavirus spike following receptor binding: implications for membrane fusion.
The SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) spike is the largest known viral spike molecule, and shares a similar function with all class 1 viral fusion proteins. Previous structural studies of membrane fusion proteins have largely used crystallography of static molecular fragments, in isolation of their transm...
