The Conserved Fusion Peptide Sequence of SARS-CoVs is Insensitive to Ca2+ in Inducing Lipid Mixing in Model Membranes
{{output}}
The viral envelope fuses with the host cell membrane to initiate viral infection. In the case of SARS-CoVs, the fusion process is catalyzed by the spike (S) protein. The S1 subunit interacts with the host cell receptor and assists in docking the viral particle... ...
