In virology, a spike protein or peplomer protein is a protein that forms a large structure known as a spike or peplomer projecting from the surface of...

with large (~20 nm), club- or petal-shaped surface projections (the "peplomers" or "spikes"), which in electron micrographs of spherical particles create...

attack by attaching to host receptors through the glycoprotein (GP) surface peplomer and is endocytosed into macropinosomes in the host cell. To penetrate the...

the solar corona or halo. This morphology is created by the viral spike peplomers, which are proteins on the surface of the virus. The scientific name Coronavirus...

resemble a solar corona. This morphology is created by the viral spike (S) peplomers, which are proteins that populate the surface of the virus and determine...

protein assembles into trimers that form large structures, called spikes or peplomers, that project from the surface of the virion. The distinctive appearance...

able to spread systemic infection. This protein forms structures called peplomers on one end of the budded virus particle, but is not found on ODVs (although...
