Structural determinants of spike infectivity in bat SARS-like coronaviruses RsSHC014 and WIV1

AI Summary

This study investigates the structural determinants of spike protein infectivity in two bat coronaviruses closely related to SARS-CoV. By analyzing the spike proteins of RsSHC014 and WIV1, researchers identified key features that affect viral entry and infectivity. Understanding these structural determinants can provide insights into the potential for zoonotic transmission and the development of therapeutic interventions for emerging coronaviruses.
