The SARS-CoV heptad repeat 2 exhibits pH-induced helix formation
The heptad repeats 1 and 2 of SARS-CoV spike, termed HR1 and HR2, play critical roles in viral entry. Moreover, HR1 and HR2 derived free peptides are inhibitors of SARS-CoV entry. In this work we used circular dichroism to show that HR2 helix formation is induced at pH 5, the pH of the endosome. In...
