A tighter core stabilizes SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in new emergent variants: Mutations made spike protein more rigid, potentially improving virus's fitness

Summary by Ground News

Mutations that tightened the core of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in new variants may have increased the virus's fitness. The stem region of the protein that emerged in the most recent Omicron variants is as rigid as it can get. This could mean that newer vaccines may be effective for longer than the ones that targeted the original variant.

A tighter core stabilizes SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in new emergent variants

Just as a tight core is a component of good physical fitness for humans, helping to stabilize our bodies, mutations that tightened the core of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in new variants may have increased the virus's fitness.

A tighter core stabilizes SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in new emergent variants: Mutations made spike protein more rigid, potentially improving virus's fitness

New research reveals that mutations in the stem of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein led to the virus becoming progressively tighter over time, which may have improved the virus's ability to transmit through nasal droplets and infect host cells once in the body.
