Abstract excerpt
One of the most important proteins for COVID-19 pathogenesis in SARS-CoV-2 is the ORF3a which is the largest accessory protein among others coded by the SARS-CoV-2 genome. The major roles of the protein include virulence, infectivity, ion channel activity, morphogenesis, and virus release. The coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 is mutating rapidly, therefore, critical study of mutations in ORF3a is certainly important from...
