An article published this month offers gorgeous movies of SARS-CoV-2
spike protein opening to expose its receptor binding domain. The movies
are based on extensive molecular dynamics simulations. The authors
conclude that spike protein surface glycosylations act as "gates" in the
opening transition. These movies would be dramatic in the classroom.
