A team of researchers set out to build a full-length, membrane-embedded spike to study its conformational dynamics at the atomic level using molecular dynamics simulations to understand better how this important component of the virus machinery works.

A new study provides understanding of the intricate roles and functions of the different elements of spike proteins and shows how the spike protein samples a crowded surface of its host cell via the glycans.
