Ososayensi baqhuba isifundo, esakhombisa ukuthi abantu abaneqembu legazi bavezwa engcupheni enkulu yokutheleleka kwe-Covil-19, ngoba i-coronavirus ingaxhumana namaseli abo okuphefumula kanye nekhala, "kusho" ama-moscow komomolets " .
Abaphenyi abavela esibhedlela saseBrigham ne-Women eBoston baveza amaprotheni aphezulu weCoronavirus, akhishwe emzimbeni wegciwane futhi athumba amaseli. Ikakhulu, iqembu ligxile kwisizinda esibophayo (RBD), izingxenye zeSpike, ezixhumeke ngokomzimba nama-receptors abantu. Le ndawo ibalulekile ukuthi leli gciwane lithelele amaseli, kanye nokuqonda ukuthi lixhumana kanjani nama-cell receptors livumela abaphenyi ukuthi baqonde kangcono ukutheleleka.
Ososayensi bathole ubuhlobo obuphakeme namaseli abantu abanohlobo lwegazi a, okubonisa okuthandwa yimvelo okuthi abakwa-SARS-Cov-2 abazuze kolunye kokhokho balo lwegciwane.
"Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi isizinda esibophayo se-receptor sikhetha kuphela ama-antigen of group egazi a, atholakala kumaseli wokuphefumula, amelela ukuthi leli gciwane lingena kanjani ezigulini eziningi futhi lizithethelele. Iqembu legazi liyinkinga, ngoba lilifa, futhi asikwazi ukulishintsha. Kepha uma singakwazi ukuqonda kangcono ukuthi leli gciwane lixhumana kanjani namaqembu egazi labantu, singathola izidakamizwa ezintsha noma izindlela zokuvimbela, "amakati i-Daily Mail of the Authord of the Study, uDkt Sean Stowell.
