Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The COVID-19 pandemics by SARS-CoV-2 causes catastrophic damage for global human health. The initial step of SARS-CoV-2 infection is the binding of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) in its spike protein to ACE2 receptor in host cell membrane. The evolving of SARS-CoV-2 constantly generates new mutations across its genome including RBD. Besides the well-known single mutation in RBD, the recent ne...
