In Silico Analysis of Cross-Species Sequence Variability in Host Interferon Antiviral Pathway Proteins and SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Zoonotic transmission of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been found to result in infections in more than 30 mammalian species. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to the host’s angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) cell surface receptor to gain entry into the cell. ACE2 protein sequence […]
