Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), the number of confirmed cases has reached 1,016,000 worldwide and the global death has exceeded 53,000. This highly infectious disease is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 poses a great threat to human activities and keeps the world in suspense. A comprehensive knowledge of this novel virus will help fight against COVID-19. Several important proteins play a crucial role in the process of the virus infection. Structural informatio...
