Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Spikes shapes their binding affinities to animal ACE2 orthologs

ABSTRACT Spike-receptor interaction is a critical determinant for the host range of coronaviruses. Here, we investigated all the five World Health Organization-designated variants of concern (VOC), including Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Gamma (P.1), Delta (B.1.617.2), and Omicron (B.1.1.529), fo...
