Due to its role in the infection process, the spike glyprotein may be a potential target of studies that seek methods of preventing the COVID-19 disease. These include the development of vaccines based on the protein's structure of the protein and on it's recognition/biding mechanisms. For instance, avoiding the cleavage of the furin, located on the B domains of the protein, by the host's proteases could be a way of viral inhibition. | Due to its role in the infection process, the spike glyprotein may be a potential target of studies that seek methods of preventing the COVID-19 disease.

Comprehending how the protein can be bound to antibodies could also help the scientific community to prepare for future SARS coronavirus outbreaks that may happen in the future | ||
