Result: A new 493GLN (E21)-34HIS (O) hydrogen bond was generated in both the N354D and V367F systems after excluding the hydrogen bond contained in the WT system.
Result: All the mutant systems had fewer hydrogen bonds than had the WT system; in particular, the V367F system only produced 14 hydrogen bonds.
Result: Although no hydrogen bond was formed at site 498 in the binding interface of both the V367F (Supplementary Figure S2B) and Q498A (Supplementary Figure S2C) systems, the hydrophobic interaction at this site was found to increase.
Result: Consistent with the result of our cell-cell fusion assay, recently, a study also found the enhanced affinity and infectivity of the V367F Spike mutant based on ELISA, SPR and the pseu
Potent prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of recombinant human ACE2-Fc against SARS-CoV-2 infection in vivo.
Abstract: hACE2-Fc also neutralized various SARS-CoV-2 strains with enhanced infectivity including D614G and V367F mutations, as well as the emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), B.1.617.1 (Kappa), and B.1.617.2 (Delta), demonstrating its potent and broad-spectrum antiviral effects.
Method: In brief, HEK293 cells were co-transfected with reporter plasmid plenti-GFP-luc, packaging plasmid psPAX2, and coronavirus spike plasmid of interest (pcDNA3.1-SARS-CoV-S, pcDNA3.1-SARS-CoV-2-S, pcDNA3.1-SARS-CoV-2-S-D614G, pcDNA3.1-SARS-CoV-2-S-V367F, pcDNA3.1-B.1.1.7-S, pcDNA3.1-B.1.351-S, pcDNA3.1-B.1
Cross-neutralization of RBD mutant strains of SARS-CoV-2 by convalescent patient derived antibodies.
Result: As shown in Figure 4a, HTS0422, HTS0433 and HTS0446 bind with both wildtype and mutant (N501Y, W463R, N354D, V367F, both N354D and D364Y) RBD significantly.
Result: As shown in Figure 6a, the infection of mutants N354D, V367F and N354D/D364Y could be inhibited by all 4 antibodies.
Result: In this study, six different SARS-CoV-2 RBD mutants (N501Y, R408I, W463R, N354D, V367F an

Result: In addition, evolutionary analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein indicated that V367F is one of important mutations for higher binding affinity toward ACE2 receptor.
Emerging mutation in SARS-CoV-2 spike: Widening distribution over time in different geographic areas.
Result: In addition, there were mutation types that have more than one case such as in Asia, the mutations A829T (n = 3), P25L (n = 2), V367F (n = 2), R682Q (n = 2), S13I (n = 2), and T22I (n = 2) while the other types have just one case.
