COVID-19: News of Omicron

Structural and functional characterizations of infectivity and immune evasion of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

Highlights:

• Omicron spike stably maintains an active conformation for receptor recognition

• Improved stability of Omicron enhances attachment but compromises viral fusion

• Mutations perturb the conformation of antigenic sites recognized by most antibodies

• Structurally restrained regions of RBM can be targets for COVID-19 countermeasures
