Abstract excerpt
ORF3a is a conserved accessory protein of SARS-CoV-2, linked to viral infection and pathogenesis, with acquired mutations at various locations. Previous studies have shown that the occurrence of the Q57H mutation is higher in comparison to other positions in ORF3a. This mutation is known to induce conformational changes, yet the extent of structural alteration and its role in the viral adaptation process remain...
