Aims The rapid spread of new SARS-CoV-2 variants has highlighted the crucial role played
in the infection by mutations occurring at the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus, has
brought an unprecedented pandemic to the world and affected over 64 million people. The …

The fall of 2020 brought several new variants of SARS-CoV-2 circulating across the globe,
and the steadily increasing COVID-19 cases are responsible for the emergence of these …

The emergence of a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, resulted in a pandemic. Here, we
used recently released X-ray structures of human ACE2 bound to the receptor-binding …

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19
continues to mutate. Numerous studies have indicated that this viral mutation, particularly in …

The attachment of SARA‐CoV‐2 happens between ACE2 and the receptor binding domain
(RBD) on the spike protein. Mutations in this domain can affect the binding affinity of the …

The Spike glycoprotein receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 mediates the viral
particle's binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on the surface of …

The increasing number of SARS-CoV-2 variants associated with highly transmissible
phenotypes is a health-public concern in the current pandemic scenario. Herein, we …

The recent emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants has threatened the efforts to contain
the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergence of these “variants of concern” has increased …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Reports of new variants that potentially increase …
