"Residues 816–834 of the S protein, which is located immediately downstream of the S2’ cleavage site at Arg815/Ser816, have generally been recognized as the bona fide SARS-CoV-2 fusion peptide (bFP, residues 816–834). Nevertheless, a recent cryo-EM structure of the postfusion SARS-CoV-2 S in a lipid bilayer membrane showed that the internal fusion peptide (iFP, residues 867–909) inserted into the membrane, whereas the bFP was not resolved. This observation appears to challenge the functional importance of bFP but also indicates that additional analysis of the fusion peptide and fusion mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 S is warranted."

The verdict also affirmed prosecutors’ contention that a political movement that Guo built alongside former Trump campaign chief Steve Bannon starting in 2018—which the men claim aims to “take down the CCP”—was largely a con, a pretense that Guo used win the support and trust of people in the Chinese diaspora, and then fleece them.
