Omicron and Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2: A comparative computational study of spike protein

Suresh Kumar et al.

Summary: The emergence of the new SARS-CoV-2 variant, Omicron, has raised concerns due to its potential high affinity for human ACE2, indicating a higher transmission potential. Compared to the Delta variant, Omicron has a significantly different amino acid composition and protein structure, which may affect its stability and ACE2 binding.

The N501Y spike substitution enhances SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: The B.1.1.7 variant (Alpha) of SARS-CoV-2 emerged in the UK in the summer of 2020, with 19 mutations including N501Y which is a major determinant of increased transmission. The N501Y substitution increased viral transmission by enhancing the spike protein's affinity for cellular receptors, making it an adaptive spike mutation of concern.

Detection of a SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern in South Africa

Houriiyah Tegally et al.

Summary: The article describes a newly emerged lineage of SARS-CoV-2, 501Y.V2, characterized by eight mutations in the spike protein, which may result in increased transmissibility or immune escape. This lineage originated in South Africa and quickly became dominant in Eastern Cape, Western Cape, and KwaZuluNatal provinces within weeks.

Multiplex qPCR discriminates variants of concern to enhance global surveillance of SARS-CoV-2

Chantal B. F. Vogels et al.

Summary: With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with increased transmissibility and immune escape, targeted surveillance is urgently needed. The B.1.1.7 variant can be detected by a specific deletion in the spike gene, but other variants like B.1.351 and P.1 cannot. An open-source PCR assay targeting a deletion in the ORF1a gene has been designed and validated to enhance surveillance for these variants.

The biological and clinical significance of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants

Kaiming Tao et al.

Summary: The emergence of multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants has significant impacts on the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased virus transmission rates, heightened risk of reinfection, and reduced effectiveness of neutralizing antibodies and vaccines. These variants have introduced new challenges to COVID-19 research, necessitating additional avenues of laboratory, epidemiological, and clinical studies.
