Spike mutation D614G alters SARS-CoV-2 fitness

Jessica A. Plante et al.

Summary: The D614G substitution in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein enhances viral replication and infectivity in human lung epithelial cells, primary airway tissues, and hamsters. This variant may increase transmission in the upper respiratory tract and doesn't seem to significantly reduce vaccine efficacy. Further research on therapeutic antibodies targeting the circulating G614 virus is recommended.

Higher infectivity of the SARS-CoV-2 new variants is associated with K417N/T, E484K, and N501Y mutants: An insight from structural data

Abbas Khan et al.

Summary: The new variants of SARS-CoV-2 are more contagious and require further investigation on their interaction with the host receptor to identify new therapeutic options. Specific mutations in the Spike glycoprotein of the new variants may play a critical role in their unique pathogenicity.
