AHP889 is specific for the SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) Spike glycoprotein. The Spike protein is a type I membrane protein and functions in adhesion to host cells, where it binds to Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
The amino terminal region folds to a globular shape, forming the characteristic spike structure and contains the binding site for ACE2.
