But experts said D614G isn't a new strain, but rather a mutation, and has previously been tied to outbreaks in Europe and the U.S.. It is also unlikely to affect vaccine development, and drops in ...

D614G mutation increased the amount of RBD 2 open and 3 open. Image Credit: ACROBiosystems. As it stands, around 200 COVID-19 vaccine development studies are ongoing.

D614G mutation is characterized by an aspartic acid to glycine shift at the amino acid position 614 of a protein. Studies have shown that a D614G mutation in the spike protein of severe acute ...

The D614G mutation might be the most popular coronavirus mutation when it comes to genetic studies, but it’s hardly the only mutation the virus has undergone.

The most significant coronavirus mutation so far has been detailed in many studies, most of them saying that the D614G mutation has made the virus more infectious.; A new paper details an ...

The D614G mutation does seem to have increased the infectivity of the coronavirus — at least in cells grown in laboratories, according to a recent paper by the computational biologist Bette ...

What's unclear is whether the D614G mutation slows or speeds the viral "car" or, in fact, does nothing. Download the NBC News app for full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak.

Professor Nick Loman, of the University of Birmingham, who is part of the COVID-19 Genomics Consortium, told BBC Radio 4’s “Today” program that the mutation, known as D614G, is forming ...

Researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico reported that the mutation, named Spike D614G, started to spread in Europe and has been replacing the first strain of the virus ...

"The mutation Spike D614G is of urgent concern; it began spreading in Europe in early February, and when introduced to new regions it rapidly becomes the dominant form.
