Structural and computational insights into the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron RBD-ACE2 interaction

2022-01-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Since SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) was reported in November 2021, it has quickly spread to many countries and outcompeted the globally dominant Delta variant in several countries. The Omicron variant contains the largest number of mutations to date, with 32 mutations located at spike (S) glycoprotein, which raised great concern for its enhanced viral fitness and immune escape [1–4] ....
