Unveiling the structural spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 fusion by in situ cryo-ET

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells is mediated by the spike protein, which drives membrane fusion. While cryo-EM reveals stable prefusion and postfusion conformations of the spike, the transient fusion intermediate states during the fusion process remain poorly understood. Here, we design a n...
