[2021-02-17 17:11:16] [Kristian Andersen] 681R is interesting in this regard - might lose some control over the cleavage, but overall make it more 'cleavable'?

I don't doubt SARS-CoV-2 will/does recombine, but this is just typical Korber bs. :face_vomiting: [2021-02-17 22:19:19] [Kristian Andersen] Btw - if you have seen Jeremy's Twitter rants as of late... Talk about "... seems nice. Good sense of humor. Grounded. Knows what's important. Doesn't sweat the small stuff. Focused."

[2021-02-18 09:51:21] [Robert Garry] 331N to 526 or 527 is - what I would consider - the entire C-terminal Domain CTD. The RBD itself is a smaller loop within the CTD, which is actually a bit bigger than what we estimated in PO1 - so running about 414 to 506. [2021-02-18 10:00:58] [Robert Garry] AFAIK there is not a definite - or official - end to the CTD. No cysteine loop or other feature that would tie it off.
