The newly-formed structural motif makes 152 direct contact with the previously identified pH switch 1 of the adjacent protomer, 153 accounting for the enhanced stability of the WT S-Trimer at lower pH (Fig. 3A) . When revisiting the electron density map for full-163 length wild-type S protein (EMDB: 22292), we spotted unassigned density at the become predominant over the ancestral form worldwide and has been shown to interaction with K854 at the conformational switch region (Fig. 4C ). Purified MT S-trimer protein diluted to 0.2 and 0.5 mg/ml in PBS buffer were applied to glow-discharged gold holey carbon 1.2/1.3 300-mesh grids with and without graphene oxide, respectively. ./cache/cord-104037-39kk37fb.txt ./txt/cord-104037-39kk37fb.txt
