The Molecular Evolution of the SARS-COV-2 Spike Protein: Study of Amino Acid Substitutions and Types

2024-07-23

Abstract excerpt

The molecular evolution of SARS-COV-2 has been challenging to predict. Emergence of the Omicron Variant of Concern (VOC) and its sublineages indicated that SARS-COV-2 could evolve more rapidly than previously thought. We analyzed the mutation and amino acid substitution patterns in the spike (S) protein of SARS-COV-2 VOCs to assess how they evolved in response to the selective pressure exerted by both natural immu...
