Mutations in the spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 select for amino acid changes, increasing protein stability The coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), continues to spread globally. As of July 1, 2021, over 182 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported worldwide, which has led to the deaths of almost 4 million. As vaccination efforts commenced in most countries, new variants threaten the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. For example, SARS-CoV-2 variants with mutations in their spike (S) protein may increase infectivity, heightened risk of death, and immune escape. A team of researchers at the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at the University College London demonstrated that mutations in the S protein of SARS-CoV-2 select for amino acid changes that result in a more stable protein than would otherwise be expected.
