Gosnell School of Life Sciences. They studied how the viral spike proteins in several SARS-CoV-2 variants interact with the host cell receptors known as ACE2 in both humans and various bats of genus Rhinolophus. Babbitt said the results were surprising.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were hoping to see really cool adaptive evolution h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening as the virus got more used to humans and less used to bats, but we actually saw that there wasn&#8217;t a whole lot of change,&#8221; said Babbitt. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because this binding site has not evolved very much, there&#8217;s really not much stopping it from transmitting from humans to bats. If you look at the phylogenetic relationships of bats to humans, we&#8217;re pretty far apart on the mammalian tree. So it suggests that there would be pretty widespread cross-species infectivity, and the literature has shown there&#8217;s been a lot of evidence of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The scientists used a computer simulation method called molecular dynamics to put proteins in a solvated simulation and then watch them move. The approach uses high performance computing on graphics processors to show what every atom does over time. Babbitt said this approach allows scientists to study questions that cannot be answered in a traditional laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would be dangerous to do experiments where we reinfected bats with human viral strains, so our computer-based simulations offered a much safer alternative,&#8221; said Babbitt.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                        <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Madhusudan Rajendran et al, Persistent cross-species SARS-CoV-2 variant infectivity predicted via comparative molecular dynamics simulation, <i>Royal Society Open Science<\/i> (2022).  <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-doi=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1098\/rsos.220600\">DOI: 10.1098\/rsos.220600<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium mt-4\">\n<p>                                                    Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                            Rochester Institute of Technology<br \/>\n                                                                                                                <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rit.edu\/\"><br \/>\n                                                            <svg><use href=\"https:\/\/phys.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                    <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                    Study indicates SARS-CoV-2 variants are still transmissible between species (2022, December  2)<br \/>\n                                                    retrieved  4 December 2022<br \/>\n                                                    from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-12-sars-cov-variants-transmissible-species.html<\/p>\n<p>                                             This document is subject to copyright.
