An ORNL-led team studied the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the trimer state, shown here, to pinpoint structural transitions that could be disrupted to destabilize the protein and negate its harmful effects.

Simulations on Summit generated spike protein data for the protomer, shown in yellow, and for the trimer, shown in orange, which the team analyzed using a novel deep learning technique.
