New variants of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha (B.1.1.7); Beta (B.1.351) Gamma (P.1) and Delta (B.1.617.2) quickly spread in the UK, South Africa, Brazil and India, respectively. To address whether mutations in SARS-CoV-2 RBD spike protein could affect virus infectivity, peptides containing RBD amino acids mutati...
