Transient lipid-bound states of spike protein heptad repeats provide insights into SARS-CoV-2 membrane fusion

Entry of SARS-CoV-2 into a host cell is mediated by spike, a class I viral fusion protein responsible for merging the viral and host cell membranes. Recent studies have revealed atomic-resolution models for both the postfusion 6-helix bundle (6HB) and the prefusion state of spike. However, a mechani...
