Mutations of SARS-CoV-2 Structural Proteins in the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Variants: Bioinformatics Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome are two pandemic respiratory diseases caused by coronavirus species. The novel disease COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019, and became a pandemic within 2-3 months, affecting social and economic platforms worldwide. Despite the rapid development of vaccines, there have been obstacles to their distribution, including a lack of fundamental resources, poor immunization, and manual vaccine replication. Several variants of the original Wuhan strain have emerged in the last 3 years, which can pose a further challenge for control and vaccine development.

Objective

The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze mutations in SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VoC
