The Up state of the SARS-COV-2 Spike homotrimer favors an increased virulence for new variants

2021-04-06

Abstract excerpt

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread widely worldwide. However, as soon as the vaccines were released – the only scientifically verified and efficient therapeutic option thus far – a few mutations combined into variants of SARS-CoV-2 that are more transmissible and virulent emerged raising doubts about their efficiency. Therefore, this work aims to explain possible molecular mechanisms responsible for the increased tr...
