Binding Interactions between RBD of Spike-Protein and Human ACE2 in Omicron variant

2022-02-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 Omicron VOC ( OV ) has exacerbated the COVID-19 pandemic due to a large number of mutations in the spike-protein, particularly in the receptor-binding domain (RBD), resulting in highly contagious and/or vaccine-resistant strain. Herein, we present a systematic analysis based on detailed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in order to understand how the OV RBD mutati...
