The 3D structure prediction and Ramachandran plot analysis of the E protein. a The Ramachandran plot analysis of the 3D structure of the E protein (without Gly and Pro). All of the residues located on the allowed region. indicating that the structure was reliable from a thermodynamic point of view. b The 3D structure of the E protein predicted by homology modeling. It is a pentamer with ion channel activity [38]. Its head is short, the middle of the tail is a transmembrane region which help the E protein embed in the envelope of SARS-CoV-2
