Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs) are characterized by distinct mutations in the S1 domain of the viral spike protein. This domain encompasses the N-terminal domain, the receptor-binding domain, and part of the cleavage site region. While mutations in other genomic regions of SARS-CoV-2 can impact VOC potential, the S1 domain holds particular...
