Abu Dhabi-based NYUAD studies COVID-19 virus mutations, link to transmissibility
Abu Dhabi: A new study by New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) and New York University has used computational modelling to assess the biological significance of spike protein mutations on the COVID-19 virus, and has uncovered versions that bind more tightly or resist antibodies better.  The study therefore offers a promising public health surveillance tool, researchers said. Spike proteins protrude from the surface of the Sars-CoV-2 virus, allowing it to latch on to cells to infect them. The virus has evolved to acquire mutations of this spike protein, so New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) and the New York University have been studying them, in light of the fact that the mutations are k
