As the number of new 2019-nCoV cases continues to rise across the globe, experts have been working tirelessly on vaccines, therapeutic antibodies, and improved diagnosis. A key target for these efforts is a densely glycosylated spike protein, which the 2019-nCoV harnesses to gain entry into host cells.
