The relatively high degree of sequence identity for the RBD is consistent with the view that 2019-nCoV, like SARS-CoV, may use ACE2 as its host cell receptor, The composition of residues found at the two known coronavirus S cleavage sites was performed using alignment data ( Fig. 2B and C). ./cache/cord-146679-g7qioapl.txt ./txt/cord-146679-g7qioapl.txt
