Covid-19 Genomics UK Consortium – Variants of Concern (COG UK VoC)

Spike protein structures showing locations of amino acid residues that are mutated in each variant of concern (VOC). The spike protein protrudes from the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is responsible for initating binding to and entry into host cells, and is also the primary target for antibodies that recognise the virus.
