Flexible, Functional, and Familiar: Characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Evolution

The SARS-CoV-2 S protein is a major point of interaction between the virus and the human immune system. As a consequence, the S protein is not a static target but undergoes rapid molecular evolution. In order to more fully understand the selection pressure during evolution, we examined residue posit...
