Omicron BA. 2.75 may become the next globally dominant strain of COVID-19 in 2022. The
BA. 2.75 sub-variant has acquired more mutations (9) in spike protein and other genes of …

This paper reports, for the first time, standard Gibbs energies of binding of the BA. 1, BA. 2,
BA. 3, BA. 2.13, BA. 2.12. 1 and BA. 4 Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2, to the Human ACE2 …

Since 2020, the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of the novel severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been constantly mutating …

RNA viruses exhibit a great tendency to mutate. Mutations occur in the parts of the genome
that encode the spike glycoprotein and less often in the rest of the genome. This is why …

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has mutated several times
into new strains, with an increased infectivity. Infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 strains depends on …

The latest severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant Omicron
(B. 1.1. 529) has ushered panic responses around the world due to its contagious and …

SARS-CoV-2 infection is initiated by binding of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of its
spike glycoprotein to the peptidase domain (PD) of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 …

A new SARS-CoV-2 variant B. 1.1. 529 was named by the WHO as Omicron and classified
as a Variant of Concern (VOC) on 26 November 2021. Because this variant has more than …

Summary Recently emerged SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariant, BA. 2.75, displayed a growth
advantage over circulating BA. 2.38, BA. 2.76, and BA. 5 in India. However, the underlying …

SARS-CoV-2 resembles the ancient mythical creature Hydra. Just like with the Hydra, when
one head is cut, it is followed by appearance of two more heads, suppression of one SARS …
