Abstract excerpt
Omicron derived lineages viz. BA.2, BA.3, BA.4 BA.5, BF.7 and XBBs show prominence with improved immune escape, transmissibility, infectivity, and pathogenicity in general. Sub-variants, XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.16 have shown rapid spread, with mutations embedded throughout the viral genome, including the spike protein. Changing atomic landscapes in spike contributes significantly to modulate host pathogen interactions...
