[Proteopedia] Animation of Coronavirus Spike Protein Priming

[Eric Martz]

I have just completed a new article that animates the conformational 
change induced in the coronavirus spike protein by proteases such as 
furin. This change facilitates the initial step of virus binding to the 
host cell's ACE2 receptor.

Suggestions are, of course, most welcome (or you can edit the page 
yourself). -Eric
