| Popis: | Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is evolving with mutations in the spike protein, especially in the receptor-binding domain (RBD). The failure of public health measures in some countries to contain the spread of the disease has given rise to novel viral variants with increased transmissibility. However, key questions about how quickly the variants can spread remain unclear. Herein, we performed a structural investigation using molecular dynamics simulations and determined dissociation constant ( |
