Detection of a SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern in South Africa.

TL;DR: A newly arisen lineage of SARS-CoV-2 (designated 501Y.V2) was identified in South Africa after the first wave of the epidemic in a severely affected metropolitan area (Nelson Mandela Bay) that is located on the coast of the Eastern Cape province.

Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells.

TL;DR: In this article, structural and cellular foundations for understanding the multistep SARS-CoV-2 entry process, including S protein synthesis, S protein structure, conformational transitions necessary for association of the spike (S) protein with ACE2, engagement of the receptor-binding domain of the S protein with ACS, proteolytic activation of S protein, endocytosis and membrane fusion are provided.

Rapid epidemic expansion of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in southern Africa

TL;DR: The Omicron variant is exceptional for carrying over 30 mutations in the spike glycoprotein, which are predicted to influence antibody neutralization and spike function as discussed by the authors , highlighting the rapid spread in regions with high levels of population immunity.

A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.
