SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, we saw how quickly the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved. New variants emerged with mutations ...

SARS-CoV-2 secondary structure shapes mutation frequencies, constraining viral evolution models predicting fitness can benefit from integrating secondary structure data.

A Stanford-led team has found two antibodies that can work together to neutralize the virus that causes COVID-19 in all its ...

Bispecific antibodies targeting multiple SARS-CoV-2 sites offer enhanced neutralization against emerging variants, advancing ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 has been very good at mutating to keep infecting people—so good that most antibody treatments ...

What actually happened was that SARS-CoV-2 began mutating quickly, first to be more transmissible and then to evade our immunity, causing breakthrough infections and reinfections. Five years and ...

Scientists found that it can bind to human ACE2 receptors, similar to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus behind COVID-19). This suggests it has the potential for animal-to-human transmission. Experts note that ...

HKU5-CoV-2 is found in bats which which was discovered in China and uses the ACE2 receptor for cell entry. It is very similar to SARS-CoV-2 but as per the Wuhan Institute of Virology, HKU5-CoV-2 ...
