Different aspects in explaining how mutations could affect the binding mechanism of receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in interaction with ACE2.

During replication, some mutations occur in SARS-CoV-2, the causal agent of COVID-19, leading to the emergence of different variants of the virus. The mutations that accrue in different variants of the virus, influence the virus' ability to bind to human cell receptors and ability to evade the...
