Abstract excerpt

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants show different behavior compared to the previous variants, especially with respect to the Delta variant, which promotes a lower morbidity despite being much more contagious. In this perspective, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the different spike RBD/hACE2 complexes corresponding to the WT, Delta and four Omicron variants. Carrying out a comprehensive analysis...
