Mass spectrometry in the molecular differentiation between SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein and mRNA anti COVID-19 vaccine Spike glycoprotein. Open
SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins, also known as S proteins, are the proteins on the surface of the virus that allow it to bind to and enter host cells. The spike protein binds to the ACE2 receptor on human cells, which allows the virus to enter a…
