The ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2, particularly the rapid emergence of the omicron variant and its sublineages, has ...
SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) mediates viral entry into human cells through its interaction with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Most neutralizing antibodies elicited by infection ...
A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Columbia University has demonstrated a way to produce large quantities of the receptor that SARS-CoV-2, ...
The continuous emergence of antibody-escape variants of SARS-CoV-2 demands the identification of alternative methods of protection against infection that do not directly target viral proteins. Here, ...
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 prevent ...

Scientists used fluorescence microscopy to visualize human ACE2 proteins expressed on mouse cells after incubating the cells with fluorescently labeled SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (green). Left: a view ...
