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.

Modelling conformational state dynamics and its role on infection for SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein variants

TL;DR: The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein needs to be in an open-state conformation to interact with ACE2 as part of the viral entry mechanism, and coarse-grained normal-mode analyses are used to model the dynamics of Spike and calculate transition probabilities between states for 17081 Spike variants.
