Question
1. SARS-CoV versus SARS-CoV-2
Compare the protein sequence of the SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Do you think the antibody
towards the former will most likely bind to the latter? Explain your answer. Note: the spike
protein of the SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 were aligned, and the regions in a black
rectangular box as the "critical residues for binding".
