A single <i>de novo</i> substitution in SARS-CoV-2 spike informs enhanced adherence to human ACE2
2021-07-16
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 initiates colonization of host cells by binding to cell membrane ACE2 receptor. This binding is mediated by the viral spike receptor binding domain (RBD). The COVID-19 pandemic has brought devastating consequences at a clinical, social and economical levels. Therefore, anticipation of potential novel SARS-causing species or SARS-CoV-2 variants with enhanced binding to ACE2 is key in the prevention of fu...
