CellPress (Journal Preproof): Structure, function and antigenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (This is a PDF file of an accepted peer-reviewed article but is not yet the definitive version of record.)

...We found that the SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein harbors a furin cleavage site at the boundary between the S1/S2 subunits, which is processed during biogenesis and sets this virus apart from SARS-CoV and SARS-related CoVs...
...Our results provide a structural framework to identify conserved and accessible epitopes across S glycoproteins that will support ongoing vaccine design efforts...
