Click the green text to bring up the fine structure: the newly acquired mutations, are located in the "interfacing" zone: upon cell entry, spots viral particle motifs contact ACE2.

We also provide another enhanced structural illustration below:

Function

Cell entry: Here is a simple demonstration that the newly acquired mutations in Omicron variant (OV) are located in the "interfacing" zone.

Disease

CoV-19 Disease Antigen co-conspirator: the OV's general fitness has a root cause, as we discussed.
