medicine | interaction of ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 Omicron spike protein. The mutations in the Omicron variant at residues 493, 496, 498, and 501 restore ACE2 binding efficiency that would be lost as a result of other mutations such as K417N | Homo sapiens |

---|---|
cryo-electron microscopy structure of ACE2 in complex with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant spike protein reveals new salt bridges and hydrogen bonds formed by mutated residues Arg493, Ser496, and Arg498 in the receptor binding domain of spike protein. These interactions compensate for other Omicron mutations known to reduce ACE2 binding affinity, resulting in similar biochemical ACE2 binding affinities for the Delta and Omicron variants. Pseudoviruses that display the Omicron spike protein exhibit increased antibody evasion | Homo sapiens |
