1 Structural Insights into the Cofactor Role of Heparin/Heparan Sulfate in Binding between the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein and Host Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme II. Heparitin Sulfate surface glycoprotein Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
2 The viral entry process of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) requires heparin and heparan sulfates from the cell surface, functioning as a cofactor for human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for recognizing the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike (S) protein on the surface of the virion. Heparitin Sulfate surface glycoprotein Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
