It is important to understand that the virus is not able to multiply until it is in the host cell. It is she who in the future will act as an object that will be engaged in the production of viral particles and infecting the whole organism with them. But in order to penetrate the cell, the infection must somehow bind to its enzyme, after which the moment of “opening” of a kind of gate in its membrane occurs. And it was this process that scientists managed to simulate in real time.
True, the authors of the scientific work at the same time notedthat they were able to study only one of the possible options for the penetration of SARS-CoV-2 into the host cell. The next goal of specialists is to study other possible ways of binding the coronavirus to a human cell.
