Introduction
Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 RBD domain with C-terminal His-tag, expressed into periplasm of E. coli.
Description
The spike (S) glycoprotein of coronaviruses mediates binding and entry of the virus into the host cell. The S protein is also a major immunogen and a target for development of antiviral drugs. The spike protein is a transmembrane protein composed of two subunits, S1 and S2. The S1 subunit contains a receptor-binding domain (RBD) responsible for binding to the receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Several mutants of the spike protein has been identified so far with various affinity to ACE2 and changed immunogenicity.
