Fig. 1. (panel a) Structure of the fully glycosylated SARS-CoV-2 S (PDBid 6VYB) ectodomain.7 The protein is shown in grey with the RBDs of chain B and C highlighted in orange and white, respectively; the glycan shield is highlighted in blue. (panel b) Close up on the open pockets with the N-glycans at the strategic positions N234, N165, and N343 highlighted in green, cyan and purple, respectively. (panel c) N-glycans considered in the different models studied in this work, represented through the SNFG26 and drawn with DrawGlycan27 (http://www.virtualglycome.org/DrawGlycan/). Molecular rendering done with VMD.28.
