Abstract

In the UK, a new variant called SARS-CoV-2 VUI was discovered. This variant is defined by the spread of a mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 peak protein (S). The S gene encodes the spike glycoprotein, which binds to host ACE2 receptors and is required for the initiation of infection.

Keywords: COVID 19; Infection; Glycoprotein
