Researchers explore how N501Y mutation in SARS-CoV-2 increases viral transmissibility – News-Medical.Net
Researchers at Erasmus University Medical Center in The Netherlands have explored how and why new variants of SARS-CoV-2 have exhibited heightened infectivity.
Researchers at Erasmus University Medical Center in The Netherlands have explored how and why new variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), have exhibited heightened infectivity.
They suggest that increased viral transmissibility in SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern is because of greater binding of the viral spike protein to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptor of host cells.
