Tracking evolutionary pressure on the SARS-CoV-2 polybasic furin cleavage site arginine dimer: 25-31 July, 2022, sample
2022-08-05
Abstract excerpt
This work is part of a longitudinal study on the evolutionary pressure at the arginine dimer of the SARS-CoV-2 S-protein polybasic furin cleavage site. When a virus precursor acquired that furin site, it was not only a huge gain-of-function, but it was also the origin of a species (SARS-CoV-2). At molecular level, the furin site opened up two conceptually highly opposed landscapes. First (favourable for the virus)...
