Science cover story : New crown virus protrusion protein structure and ACE2 receptor structure.

The cover of this issue of science comes from two research papers published in science, one on the structure of viral spike protein published by a laboratory in the United States earlier, and a paper on the full-length structure of ACE2 receptor of new coronavirus published by Zhou Qiang Laboratory of West Lake University.is novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, dark blue) close to human cells (pale pink). Novel coronavirus pneumonia virus (
)virus spike protein (gray) is associated with receptors on human cell surface (ACE2, deep pink), which makes new crown pneumonia virus able to infect human cells.these elucidate the structure of viral spike protein, the full-length structure of ACE2 and the structure of the complex of ACE2 and receptor binding domain of new coronavirus (sars-cov-2), which provides the structural basis for the development of antiviral drugs and vaccines.novel coronavirus pneumonia to fight the disease, dedicating a science! The novel coronavirus pneumonia / new crown virus research papers, editorials and news are free to the public.
