ABSTRACT
The 6XS6 is the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The physiological role of the spike protein is relative to the respiratory syndrome coronavirus and has a stronger infect on the human body than the ancestor virus. The purification of the 6XS6 is in the homo sapiens cell by the affinity chromatography, PBS supplemented and Size Exclusion chromatography. At last, using the Cryo-Electron Microscopy to see the structure. This paper is using the D614G mutation to illustrate the structure of the 6XS6. The N-terminal domain and C-terminal domain of the 6XS6 protein are ALA27 and VAL1137. Furthermore, the mutation doesn't have the hydrogen bond because the Asp614 is substituted by the Gly614, and the molecule that interacts with the Ala 647 may occur. While the 6XS6 structure has lots of non-covalent and disulfide bonds. Comparing the structure of the 6XS6 and 6VXX, both are glycoproteins, have three monomers, have two subunits, and have the same category of expression and classification. The different conformations of the two structures can affect the binding ability with the ACE2. This paper can help the researchers to further understand the structure and function of the 6XS6 which can be used in future experiments. © 2023 SPIE.
