Transboundary and emerging diseases
Result: We found mutations in the variable regions between SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13, and these recurrent mutations (S50L, T76I, A372T, N439K) are supposed to be converted to RaTG13 from SARS-CoV-2 (Table S1).
Systemic effects of missense mutations on SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein stability and receptor-binding affinity.
Result: Mutations of S50L (DeltaDeltaG = -2.614 kcal/mol), T724I (DeltaDeltaG = -2.590 kcal/mol) and T240I (DeltaDeltaG = -2.476 kcal mol) have strong stabilizing effects on SARS-Cov-2 full-length S protein.

Discussion: S50L in seven strains and V341I have the minimum DeltaDeltaG among all other possible mutations in their positions (Supplementary Figure 5).

Bioinformatics and biology insights
Result: Based on 760 whole sequences from Oceania and South America, the most common mutations are found to be G1124V (25 mutations) and D614G (20 mutations), while other different mutations tend to increase, such as S50L (10 mutations), A262T (11 mutations), L5F (5 mutations), D138H (3 mutations), S221L (3 mutations), G485R (3 mutations) (Table 3).

Emerging mutation in SARS-CoV-2 spike: Widening distribution over time in different geographic areas.
Discussion: We found 17 mutation types of total sequences located within the NTD including T22I, P25L, T29I, Y38C, H49Y, S50L, F86S, T95I, E96G, S151G, N185K, N188K, V213L, S221W, S247R, G261D and Y279N.
Mutational analysis in international isolates and drug repurposing against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein: molecular docking and simulation approach.
Result: Of note, two SNPs (T21570G and C21771T, leading to spike
Table: S50L
Discussion: Although no experimental data are available about the functional role of S50L (which falls within the spike N-terminal domain, NTD), recent computational analysis suggests that it might have strong stabilizing effects on SARS-Cov-2 full-length spike protein.
Discussion: Another relevant recurrent mutation detected in the present study is the spike S50L amino acid change, as it was also detected during prolonged COVID-19 in another lymphoma patient.

Discussion: The stabilizing nonsynonymous mutations (H49Y, S50L, N501Y, D614G, A845V, and P1143L) of the S-protein have a better binding affinity with ACE2 receptor complexes with the native complex (Table 4b).
