Research Article
Ginex et al. identify key molecular-level differences conferred by the A222V Spike protein mutation that potentially explain its repeated emergence in different genetic backgrounds. Their results point to subtle changes in the dynamic behavior of the receptor-binding domain in the binding-competent "up" conformation.
