Researchers identify ACE2 as the functional receptor of the two close relatives of MERS-CoV, NeoCoV and PDF-2180-CoV, in bats.
In a new study, researchers identified conserved sites in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using structural and sequence data, and then combined the results with existing deep mutational scanning data to design six antigens that can offer protection against significant immune escape mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain.
A new study describes the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants in three immunocompromised patients.
A recent study published in the journal Science brings a detailed chemical and molecular perspective on the improved evasion of antibodies against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the retention of strong interactions with the receptor as two principal factors underneath the notorious transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.
A new study showed that the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron spike binds to its receptor with enhanced affinity and yet evades vaccine-elicited neutralizing antibodies and that a booster mRNA vaccine broadened the neutralization of Omicron.
