This protein also shares amino acid sequence identity of 76% with SARS-CoV, however, as shown in the figure bellow, it has inserted amino acids that indicate a furin like cleavage site in the S1/S2 boundary. that must be primed in order to enable the viral pathogenicity. Regarding its secundary structure, units of beta-sheets, alpha-helices and loops can be observed thoughout the protein.

Regarding its secundary structure, in ithe RBD, a β-sheet formed by 5 units of β strands with units of α-helices and loops in between can be found.
