Protein detail:
| Protein name | Spike glycoprotein |
| Uniprot protein ID | P0DTC2 |
| Protein length | 1273 amino acids |
| Protein description | Spike protein is one of the structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2. The monomeric protein consists of one large ectodomain, a single-pass transmembrane anchor, and a short intracellular tail at C-terminus. It encompasses 22 glycosylation sites. S protein cleaves into two subunits namely S1 and S2 following receptor recognition. Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) in S1 subunit plays a major role in ACE2 receptor binding. |

| Title | Tracking Changes in SARS-CoV-2 Spike: Evidence that D614G Increases Infectivity of the COVID-19 Virus |
| Author | Bette Korber, Will M Fischer, Sandrasegaram Gnanakaran, Hyejin Yoon, James Theiler |
| Evidence | For the VSV and lentiviral pseudotypes, G614-bearing viruses had significantly higher infectious titers (2.6- to 9.3-fold increase) than their D614 counterparts; this was confirmed in multiple cell types. |
