Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 continues to pose a global health challenge due to its high transmissibility and mutability, with new variants emerging that potentially undermine vaccination and therapeutic efforts. Mutations in the spike protein, particularly in the receptor-binding domain (RBD), significantly influence viral transmissibility and immune escape. However, the complex interplay of these mutations and their combined...
