The new SARS-CoV-2 strain shows a stronger binding affinity to ACE2 due to N501Y mutant
SARS-CoV-2 is a global challenge due to its ability to spread much faster than the SARS-CoV, which was attributed to the mutations in the receptor binding domain (RBD). These mutations enhanced the electrostatic interactions. Recently, a new strain is reported in the UK that includes a mutation (N50...
