Abstract excerpt
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19 continues to mutate. Numerous studies have indicated that this viral mutation, particularly in the receptor-binding domain area, may increase the viral affinity for human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2), the receptor for viral entry into host cells, thereby increasing viral virulence and transmission. In this study, we...
