This peptide sequence represents a furin-like cleavage site of the Spike (S) protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The S protein must be likely cleaved at two sites, S1/S2 and S2 for viral entry into host cell. The sequence at the S1/S2 junction which contains a polybasic cleavage site (RR↓AR) represents the first cleavage site. This peptide has been labeled with QXL®520 and 5-FAM.
