Computational redesign of Beta-27 Fab with substantially better predicted binding affinity to the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant than human ACE2 receptor

Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has caused large numbers of morbidity and mortality, and the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) was an important variant of concern. To enter human cells, the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2-RBD) binds to the peptid...
