Structural and biochemical rationale for enhanced spike protein fitness in delta and kappa SARS-CoV-2 variants

Saville, Mannar et al. provide a structural basis for enhanced antibody evasion and ACE2 binding by the Delta SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. They further identify a head-to-head dimer-of-trimers cryoEM reconstruction unique to the Kappa variant spike.
