SARS-COV-2 Omicron variant predicted to exhibit higher affinity to ACE-2 receptor and lower affinity to a large range of neutralizing antibodies, using a rapid computational platform

2021-12-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Rapid assessment of whether a pandemic pathogen may have increased transmissibility or be capable of evading existing vaccines and therapeutics is critical to mounting an effective public health response. Over the period of seven days, we utilized rapid computational prediction methods to evaluate potential public health implications of the emerging SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. Specifically, we mo...
