It was reported as HIV and Ebola spike proteins. Look it up.
I saw that in the article, and I looked at the pictures. “Identical Proteins” didn’t look identical at all to me. They had roughly the same shape but that was about it.
A conveyor and a crane also look similar but do very different things. Am I surprised a protein that reacts with a specific receptor also is very similar to another protein in a different Family looks very similar to a protein that interacts with a very specific receptor in another species? Not one bit. No more surprised than to see a bulldozer looks a lot like a tank.
Now IDENTICAL is a whole different tier of “similar” and if they ain’t the same genome they aren’t identical. Lots of people making fast and lose with a lot of different claims.
