Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 by Destruction of the Prefusion Spike.

TLDR
It is found that the monoclonal antibody CR3022 binds the RBD tightly, neutralising SARS-CoV-2 and the crystal structure at 2.4 Å of the Fab/RBD complex is reported, suggesting that CR30 22 binding facilitates conversion to the fusion-incompetent post-fusion state.

Mapping Neutralizing and Immunodominant Sites on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor-Binding Domain by Structure-Guided High-Resolution Serology.

TL;DR: It is found that both the magnitude of Ab responses to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) and nucleoprotein and nAb titers correlate with clinical scores, and the immunodominance of the receptor-binding motif will guide the design of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-B.1.1.529 leads to widespread escape from neutralizing antibody responses

TL;DR: In this article , a new SARS-CoV-2 viral isolate Omicron-B.1.529 was announced, containing far more mutations in Spike (S) than previously reported variants, leading to a large number of mutations in the ACE2 binding site and rebalances receptor affinity to that of earlier pandemic viruses.

Inference of macromolecular assemblies from crystalline state.

TL;DR: A new method, based on chemical thermodynamics, is developed for automatic detection of macromolecular assemblies in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) entries that are the results of X-ray diffraction experiments, as found, biological units may be recovered at 80-90% success rate, which makesX-ray crystallography an important source of experimental data on macromolescular complexes and protein-protein interactions.

Cryo-EM structure of the 2019-nCoV spike in the prefusion conformation.

TL;DR: The authors show that this protein binds at least 10 times more tightly than the corresponding spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)–CoV to their common host cell receptor, and test several published SARS-CoV RBD-specific monoclonal antibodies found that they do not have appreciable binding to 2019-nCoV S, suggesting that antibody cross-reactivity may be limited between the two RBDs.
