Scanning the RBD-ACE2 molecular interactions in Omicron variant

2021-12-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants poses a threat to the human population where it is difficult to assess the severity of a particular variant of the virus. Spike protein and specifically its receptor binding domain (RBD) which makes direct interaction with the ACE2 receptor of the human has shown prominent amino acid substitutions in most of the Variants of Concern. Here, by using all-ato...
