In recent years, three different coronaviruses (MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2), posed a grave threat to the global public health, security and economy. All these RNA viruses present a similar surface structure characterized by Spike Glycoproteins (S) having a key role in viral pathogenesis. The S proteins protrude from the surface of mature virion (see Fig. 1), and are responsible for...
