Predicted structural mimicry of spike receptor-binding motifs from highly pathogenic human coronaviruses

Predicted structural mimicry of spike receptor-binding motifs from highly pathogenic human coronaviruses

Viruses often encode proteins that mimic host proteins in order to facilitate infection. Little work has been done to understand the potential mimicry of the SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV spike proteins, particularly the receptor-binding motifs, which could be important in determining tropism a...
