Abstract excerpt
The L84S mutation has been observed frequently in the ORF8 protein of SARS-CoV-2, which is an accessory protein involved in various important functions such as virus propagation, pathogenesis, and evading the immune response. However, the specific effects of this mutation on the dimeric structure of ORF8 and its impacts on interactions with host components and immune responses are not well understood. In this...
