'''Black spots''' are mutations of concern in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reported by UK scientists in December, 2020. RNA viruses mutate quickly so mutations are expected. These mutations may speed up contagion, but are unlikely to cause more severe COVID-19 and unlikely to reduce vaccine effectiveness. <font color="magenta">'''ACE2 binding residues'''</font>. Animation shows priming via <font color="red">'''cleavage by furin'''</font>. | '''Black spots''' are mutations of concern in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reported by UK scientists in December, 2020.
