A therapeutic neutralizing antibody targeting receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
Vaccines and therapeutics are urgently needed for the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Here, we screen human monoclonal antibodies (mAb) targeting the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the viral spike ...

Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Transfection in HEK-293T Cells for VLP Applications
The spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 works mainly to initiate infections, especially for binding to host cells and fusing with cell membranes. Characterizing SARS-CoV-2 spikes protein transfection cells could optimize the production of VLP in HEK-293T cells ...

Integrative structural studies of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein during the fusion process (2022)
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic and catastrophic, worldwide health and economic impacts. The spike protein on the viral surface is responsible for viral entry into the host cell. The binding of spike protein to the host cell

The Possible Role of TASK Channels in Rank-Ordered Recruitment of Motoneurons in the Dorsolateral Part of the Trigeminal Motor Nucleus. [PDF]
Because a rank-ordered recruitment of motor units occurs during isometric contraction of jaw-closing muscles, jaw-closing motoneurons (MNs) may be recruited in a manner dependent on their soma sizes or input resistances (IRs). In the dorsolateral part of

Human coronavirus spike protein-host receptor recognition
A variety of coronaviruses (CoVs) have infected humans and caused mild to severe respiratory diseases that could result in mortality. The human CoVs (HCoVs) belong to the genera of α- and β-CoVs that originate in rodents and bats and are transmitted to humans via zoonotic contacts.

The Comparison of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV Genome and Spike Protein Variations
SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that has caused COVID-19 pandemic. This virus is a new variant of the SARS-CoV virus and also closely related to MERS-CoV, which caused similar acute respiratory infections. All these viruses recognize target cells by binding to the

Revealing networks from dynamics: an introduction [PDF]
What can we learn from the collective dynamics of a complex network about its interaction topology? Taking the perspective from nonlinear dynamics, we briefly review recent progress on how to infer structural connectivity (direct interactions) from ...
