SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant: Antibody evasion and cryo-EM structure of spike protein-ACE2 complex

Dhiraj Mannar et al.

Summary: The newly reported Omicron variant shows new salt bridges and hydrogen bonds formed by mutated residues in the receptor binding domain, compensating for reduced ACE2 binding affinity. It also exhibits increased antibody evasion, which likely contributes to its rapid spread.

Comparison of the binding characteristics of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 RBDs to ACE2 at different temperatures by MD simulations

Fang-Fang Yan et al.

Summary: The study showed that at different temperatures, the structure of SARS-CoV-2 RBD was more stable and had stronger binding ability to ACE2 compared to SARS-CoV RBD, mainly due to electrostatic and polar interactions. Additionally, the key differential residues and their interaction mechanisms at various temperatures were analyzed and compared in depth.

Structural dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 variants: A health monitoring strategy for anticipating Covid-19 outbreaks

Jacques Fantini et al.

Summary: This study aimed to predict the transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 variants by analyzing genomic sequence data. The researchers found that the NTD and RBD domains of the spike protein synergistically affect virus adhesion, leading to mutations in both domains in most variants. They introduced a transmissibility index (T-index) based on the kinetic and affinity parameters of coronavirus binding to host cells, which can predict the dissemination of each variant in animal and human populations.
