Structural and Functional Analysis of the D614G SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Variant.

TLDR
It is shown that D614G was more infectious than the ancestral form on human lung cells, colon cells, and on cells rendered permissive by ectopic expression of human ACE2 or of ACE2 orthologs from various mammals, including Chinese rufous horseshoe bat and Malayan pangolin.
