The genomic sequencing reveals that, as with other enveloped RNA viruses, including the coronaviruses [10] [11] [12] , SARS-CoV envelope spike (S) protein contains highly conserved heptad repeat regions (HR1 and HR2), which have been shown as important in virus membrane fusion and successfully used as targets for virus entry/fusion inhibitors in a number of viruses [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] , including a coronavirus, mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) [12] . ./cache/cord-319792-16upcncw.txt ./txt/cord-319792-16upcncw.txt
