Abstract in brief

  • The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein is a trimeric glycoprotein that helps the virus recognize and attach to human cells by binding to the ACE2 receptor, and it undergoes structural changes to facilitate viral entry through membrane fusion.
  • The S protein is covered with N-linked glycans, which influence how it folds, gets processed by host enzymes, and triggers immune responses, making it a key target for vaccine development.
  • Understanding the detailed structure and function of the S protein can guide the design of effective vaccines by revealing how the virus infects cells and how the immune system can be stimulated to fight it.]
