The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein is a surface glycoprotein that mediates viral entry into host cells. The S1 subunit contains the receptor-binding domain (RBD), which is responsible for recognizing and binding to the ACE2 receptor. This interaction is the first step in viral infection, making the S1 subunit a critical focus for vaccine development and antiviral therapies.

This is a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 subunit that is not glycosylated. This protein does not bind to ACE2, but can elicit other biological events. Thus, it is a great tool to understand spike protein biology.
