Introduction: Along with it other S protein mutations describing the British variant appeared: HV 69-70 deletion, Y144 deletion, A570D, P681H, T716I, S982A, and D1118H.
E-Volve: understanding the impact of mutations in SARS-CoV-2 variants spike protein on antibodies and ACE2 affinity through patterns of chemical interactions at protein interfaces.
Introduction: The Alpha variant fastly spread across dozens of countries and carried 17 mutations, including eight in the spike protein (HV 69-70 deletion, Y144 deletion, N501Y, A570D, P681H, T761I, S982A, and D1118H), which are the basis of three COVID-19 vaccines licensed.

Result: As a result, for the Alpha variant, we identified nine mutations in the spike gene: S:Delta69/70, S:Delta144, S:N510Y, S:A570D, S:D614G, S:P681H, S:T716I, S:S982A, and S:D1118H.
Result: To further confirm whether the RT-qPCR results were correct, we conducted NGS analysis to examine eight mutation markers for the Alpha variant (S:Delta69/70,

Result: In some contrast, mutations in the functional RBD positions (K417, E484) and modifications of mutational variant sites T716I, S982A and D1118H resulted in minor energy changes in both closed (Figure 8A) and open S-B.1.1.7 conformations (Figure 8B).
Result: Indeed, for the S-B.1.1.7 conformations, mutational positions D614G, S982A, D1118H are mostly neutrally frustrated (Figure 7E).
Result: These results are also consistent with the experiments showing that N501Y, T716I and D1118H mutations induce only minimal local conformational changes without affecting stability of the S protein.
