(1/2) New study: the coronavirus spike protein peptide with the sequence RSAIEDLLFDK can form amyloid-like fibrillar structures & hydrogels!

The process is primarily initiated at pH ≈ 4.
A hydrogel is a crosslinked hydrophilic polymer that does not dissolve in water
(2/2) Can this process also happen in vivo? That is not yet known.
At least the spike protein has already been found in lysosomes, which have a pH value of around 4.5:

Of course they will say it os long covid they will take the mantra of 'safe and effective' to their graves they are all in way too deep.
