The avian coronavirus spike protein
Virus Research, 2014 Avian coronaviruses of the genus Gammacoronavirus are represented by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), the coronavirus of chicken. IBV causes a highly contagious disease affecting the respiratory tract and, depending on the strain, other tissues ...

SARS-CoV-2 spike-protein D614G mutation increases virion spike density and infectivity [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 SARS-CoV-2 variants with spike (S)-protein D614G mutations now predominate globally. We therefore compare the properties of the mutated S protein (SG614) with the original (SD614).

Fluorescent Glycan Fingerprinting of SARS2 Spike Proteins [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Abstract Glycosylation is the most common post-translational modification and has myriad biological functions. However, glycan analysis and research has always been a challenge. Here, we would like to present new techniques of glycan fingerprinting based on enzymatic fluorescent labeling and gel electrophoresis.

Mutations in the SARS CoV2 Spike Gene and Their Reflections on the Spike Protein
Clinical and Experimental Health Sciences, 2021 Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the mutation frequency in spike (S) genes of SARS CoV2 from six different regions of the world, their distribution on the gene and reflections of these mutations to the S protein. Materials and methods: SARS CoV2 S gene sequences originating from Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, Oceania and North ...

Omicron Spike Protein is Vulnerable to Reduction
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2023 Abstract SARS-CoV-2 virus spike (S) protein is an envelope protein responsible for binding to the ACE2 receptor, driving subsequent entry into host cells. The existence of multiple disulfide bonds in the S protein makes it potentially susceptible to reductive cleavage.

Enhancing epitope of PEDV spike protein
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is the causative agent of a highly contagious enteric disease of pigs characterized by diarrhea, vomiting, and severe dehydration. PEDV infects pigs of all ages, but neonatal pigs during the first week of life are highly susceptible; the mortality rates among newborn piglets may reach 80–100%.
