Mutation in spike protein makes coronavirus eight times more infectious, study finds © Provided by Zee Business New York, Feb 18 (PTI) The D614G mutation in the spike protein of the novel coronavirus renders it up to eight times more infectious in human cells than the initial virus that originated in China, according to a study. The spike protein is used by SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, to enter the host cells. The research, published in the journal eLife, confirms findings that D614G one of several mutations in the concerning variants that have emerged in the UK, South Africa, and Brazil makes the coronavirus more transmissible. The mutation has reached near universal prevalence and is included in all current variants of concern, said Neville Sanjana, assistant professor of biology at New York University (NYU) in the US. Confirming that the mutation leads to more transmissibility may help explain, in part, why the virus has spread so rapidly over the p
