Biochemical analysis of packing and assembling heptad repeat motifs in the coronavirus spike protein trimer

ABSTRACT During a coronavirus infection, the spike protein undergoes sequential structural transitions triggered by its receptor and the host protease at the interface between the virus and cell membranes, thereby mediating membrane fusion. After receptor binding, the heptad repeat motif (HR1/HR2) w...
