host recognition by SARS-CoV-2 through the ACE2-B0AT1 complex:
angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the cellular receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome– coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), the latter being responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. This short animation shows the process of SARS-CoV-2 glycoproteins binding the ACE2-B0AT1 complex to initiate cell entry.
