Structures of the Omicron spike trimer with ACE2 and an anti-Omicron antibody: mechanisms for the high infectivity, immune evasion and antibody drug discovery
2021-12-28
Abstract excerpt
The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has rapidly become the dominant infective strain and the focus efforts against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here we report an extensive set of structures of the Omicron spike trimer by its own or in complex with ACE2 and an anti-Omicron antibody. These structures reveal that most Omicron mutations are located on the surface of the spike protein, which confer stronger ACE2 bindin...
