An in-silico study of the mutation-associated effects on the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, Omicron variant

2022-02-23

Abstract excerpt

The emergence of Omicron (B.1.1.529), a new Variant of Concern in the COVID-19 outbreak, while accompanied by the ongoing Delta variant infection, has once again fueled fears of a new infection wave and global health concern. In the Omicron variant, the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of its spike glycoprotein is heavily mutated, a feature critical for the transmission rate of the virus by interacting with hACE2. In...
