Molecular evolution and adaptation of SARS-CoV-2 omicron XBB sub-lineage Spike protein under African Selection pressure.

2023-10-11

Abstract excerpt

The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, which is a cause of concern, has various mutations in its spike protein. This protein is responsible for both viral infection and immunity. We have analyzed a particular sub-lineage of Omicron, designated XBB, which has undergone structural and functional changes in its spike protein as a response to the African selection pressures. Using molecular modeling, we compared the S pro...
