What is the ACE-2 receptor?

• protein with nucleic acid prosthetic group

• A protein sticking out from the surface of the virus. Usually interacts with host cells.

• It plays important roles in virius assembly and morphogenesis

• 
  a membrane protein that allows viruses into a cell

What does the spike glycoprotein do?

• A protein sticking out from the surface of the virus. Usually interacts with host cells.

• protein on the cell membrane that allows viruses into a cell

• protein with nucleic acid prosthetic group
