Receptor binding and complex structures of human ACE2 to spike RBD from omicron and delta SARS-CoV-2

Pengcheng Han et al.

Summary: The study found that the omicron variant, unlike other variants, has a similar affinity to the human receptor ACE2 as the prototype variant. Multiple mutations in the omicron variant may compensate for both immune escape and transmissibility. The complex structures of the omicron and delta variants binding to ACE2 provide insights into how specific mutations affect the binding.

Assessment of the binding interactions of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein variants

Deepa Raghu et al.

Summary: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a global health issue and the emergence of spike protein mutations may affect its binding to host cells and the effectiveness of neutralizing antibodies. This study investigated the binding activities of spike protein variants and their interactions with the ACE2 receptor, monoclonal antibodies, and the original spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) sequence. The findings showed that certain mutants had increased binding affinity to ACE2, while others had reduced affinity. The neutralizing capability of monoclonal antibodies was also assessed, with one antibody showing partial blocking for a specific mutant.

Protein structure analysis of the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and the human ACE2 receptor: from conformational changes to novel neutralizing antibodies

Ivan Mercurio et al.

Summary: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to a global health emergency and calls for the scientific community to identify new tools for diagnosis and treatment. In silico analysis has provided insights into conformational changes of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and potential antibodies that could target it to prevent virus invasion into human cells. This analysis also offers guidance for developing new vaccines and treatments based on targeting the spike protein.

The antigenic anatomy of SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain

Wanwisa Dejnirattisai et al.

Summary: Antibodies play a crucial role in immune protection against SARS-CoV-2, with some being used as therapeutics. A study identified 377 human monoclonal antibodies, focusing on 80 that bind the virus spike, and found that most highly inhibitory antibodies can block the virus-receptor interaction. Novel binding modes of potent inhibitory antibodies were discovered, showing potential for prophylactic or therapeutic use in animal models.

Maturation and persistence of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 memory B cell response

Aurelien Sokal et al.

Summary: Memory B cells play a crucial role in host defense against SARS-CoV-2, with distinct B cell clone responses to the virus contributing to long-lasting immune protection. The study also highlights the significance of somatic mutations in the variable region genes of memory B cells over time, indicating continued maturation and long-term immune memory post-infection.

Computational prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on the binding affinity between SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD and human ACE2

Chen Chen et al.

Summary: This study presents a two-step framework using molecular dynamics trajectories and neural networks to predict the effects of amino acid changes on the binding affinity between RBD and hACE2. The computational model achieved a validation accuracy of 82.8% for classifying single-amino acid substitution variants and a correlation coefficient of 0.73 between predicted and experimentally calculated binding affinities changes.

Molecular insights into receptor binding of recent emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants

Pengcheng Han et al.

Summary: Multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, were studied in terms of their interactions with the human ACE2 receptor. The study identified key residues in the receptor-binding domain that affect binding affinity and demonstrated the potential of soluble ACE2 protein in preventing viral entry. The findings could contribute to the development of novel therapeutic and prophylactic agents targeting these emerging mutants.

Neutralizing antibody levels are highly predictive of immune protection from symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection

David S. Khoury et al.

Summary: The level of neutralizing antibodies is closely related to immune protection against COVID-19, playing a crucial role in protecting against detected infection and severe infection. Studies have shown that neutralizing titers will decline over time after vaccination, leading to decreased protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
