Structural basis for the recognition of SARS-CoV-2 by full-length human ACE2.

TL;DR: Cryo–electron microscopy structures of full-length human ACE2 in the presence of the neutral amino acid transporter B0AT1 with or without the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the surface spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 are presented, providing important insights into the molecular basis for coronavirus recognition and infection.

Cryo-EM structures of tau filaments from Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: Scheres et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a 3.4-3.5-resolution image of the brain of an individual with Alzheimer's disease and showed that the protein cores are made of two identical protofilaments comprising residues 306-378 of tau protein.

A neutralizing human antibody binds to the N-terminal domain of the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: The epitope of 4A8 is defined as the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the S protein by determining with cryo–eletron microscopy its structure in complex with the Sprotein, which points to the NTD as a promising target for therapeutic mAbs against COVID-19.
