This encompassed a total of 146 unique variants spanning spike protein, ORF1ab and ORF3.

This spike protein is used by the coronavirus to enter human cells and proliferate; the D614G mutation in the coronavirus spike protein likely emerged in early 2020

O-glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in insect and human cell lines Sites of O-glycosylation on the spike protein were near N-glycosites, suggesting O-glycans complement N-glycans effect in immune shielding. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic, has some characteristics that were not seen before in human coronaviruses, such as mutation on the receptor-binding domain (RBD) for high affinity to the human angiotensin-converting...

How do mutations benefit SARS-CoV-2? To explore this, a team of researchers from China took a closer look at the physical interactions that occur between the proteins after viral mutation.

Chinese researchers speculate that a more virulent version of SARS-CoV-2 may emerge if the recent one blends with other coronaviruses, China-based Global Times reported.Recently, London-based New Scie

Date Time Why male mosquitoes leave humans alone A side-by-side comparison of the fruitless gene in the female (left) and male (right) mosquito brain. Male mosquitoes won’t bite you. For one thing, they cannot-males are hopelessly bad at finding humans and lack a specialized stylet to pierce your skin. But even if they could bite you, they would not want to. They refuse blood meals served to them in the lab through netting, even as their female counterparts engorge on what must appear to be a...

A new preprint on the bioRxiv* server describes the development of a live attenuated vaccine candidate to counter the growing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.
