Question
Transcribed Image Text:5) Name which protein of the coronavirus attaches to host cells:
Number of amino acids in this protein:
Secondary structures found in this protein:
Is this protein highly conserved or variable among different coronaviruses? What information
would you need to determine this?
Key amino acids in the binding domain of this protein:
Is this protein identical among the different viral strains? Which mutations are found in this
protein in the omicron variants as compared to the original viral strain?
6) The host (human) protein that serves as the virus receptor is:
The normal function of this human protein is:
Would this be a good protein to remove so the virus does not have a target to bind?
7) How could knowledge about the structure of the protein:protein interactions between the virus
protein and human receptor protein be used to develop therapeutic treatments?
