Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have been investigating the changes imparted on the Gamma variant by three RBD mutations.
Now in new research, scientists from the University of Leicester have been investigating how these mutations alter the affinities of RBDs to ACE2.
A team of scientists from Canada has recently characterized a panel of nanobodies against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.
New study results highlight that Omicron has an increased affinity to ACE-2 receptors, therefore, has increased infectivity, viral load, and transmissibility compared to other variants of concern, including the Delta variant.
A new study highlights the potential evolutionary trade-off observed in the omicron variant, detailing the dynamics of the protein structure, its interactions, and subsequent effects.
