Structural Ramifications of Spike Protein D614G Mutation in SARS-CoV-2
2022-01-25
Abstract excerpt
A single mutation from aspartate to glycine at position 614 has dominated all circulating variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). D614G mutation induces structural changes in the Spike (S) protein that strengthen the virus infectivity. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations to dissect the effects of mutation and 630-loop rigidification on wild-type structure. The introduc...
