Abstract

The effects of the disulfide bonds in ORF8 of SARS-CoV-2 are systematically investigated on its structure and functions. The binding sites between ORF8 and HLA-A are predicted and found to be independent of the reduction of the disulfide bonds.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
