Charge Matters: Mutations in Omicron Variant Favor Binding to Cells.

Chembiochem : a European journal of chemical biology - 18 Mar 2022

Abstract excerpt

Evidence is strengthening to suggest that the novel SARS-CoV-2 mutant Omicron, with its more than 60 mutations, will spread and dominate worldwide. Although the mutations in the spike protein are known, the molecular basis for why the additional mutations in the spike protein that have not previously occurred account for Omicron's higher infection potential, is not understood. We propose, based on chemical...
