Description: Spike glycoprotein from SARS-CoV-2. PDB: 6VSB. Only one monomer is highlighted. Whole protein is a homotrimer. Rest of the trimer is shown as a gray surface. Parts of the actual structure are not shown. The following are listed from N-terminal (letter N) to C-terminal (C): N-terminal domain (blue), ACE2 receptor binding domain (magenta) general structure (cyan), central helix (orange, faces inside of the homotrimer) and connector domain (purple, anchors the spike protein to virus lipid envelope). Yellow: disulfide bonds. Red: carbohydrates. Gray block: lipid membrane of the virus.
