Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, continues to circulate around the world, making it necessary to study the impact of rapidly emerging mutations on escape from neutralizing antibodies and pathogenesis. While RBD mutations are well characterized, mutations in the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike protein remain comparatively understudied despite their relevance to antibody recognition. This study investigates...
