Abstract excerpt
Since the new variant of SARS-CoV-2, Omicron (BA.1) has raised serious concerns, it is important to investigate the effects of mutations in the NTD and RBD domains of the spike protein for the development of COVID-19 vaccines. In this study, computational analysis of the Wuhan and Omicron NTDs and RBDs in their unbound and bound states to mAb 4A8 and ACE2 were performed. In addition, the interaction of NTD with...
