A vaccine for Coronavirus is likely to take a longer time than imagined, because the most obvious target of the
vaccine should be the external spike protein on the envelope of this enveloped virus. The cellular attachment protein
on epithelial cells, which the virus binds to for entry into the epithelial cell, is known to be ACE2, a receptor enzyme.
Explain why the production of a vaccine targeting the coronavirus spike protein (S1), is not likely to be successful.
