Interactive structural visualizations of escape mutation maps

Below are links to interactive visualizations of the effects of single mutations to the Delta SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) on recognition by polyclonal plasmas from individuals who were infected with the Delta variant.

These visualizations are built using dms-view. These experiments are described in this pre-print, and raw data are available here.

Sites of escape are shown for each antibody, and are mapped to the ACE2-bound Wuhan-Hu-1 RBD structure (PDB 6M0J).

These interactive dms-view renderings show mutations that reduce binding of polyclonal plasmas to the Delta RBD.

Here are the same data, but mapped to the ACE2-bound Delta RBD (PDB 7V8B).

Below are previously-published interactive dms-view renderings for early 2020 plasmas. These plasmas were mapped against DMS libraries of the homologous RBD of exposure – i.e., the Wuhan-Hu-1 RBD.

Below are previously-published interactive dms-view renderings for primary Beta infection-elicited plasmas. These plasmas were mapped against DMS libraries of the homologous RBD of exposure – i.e., the Beta RBD.
