Fig. 4

The three-dimensional (3D) structural models of four receptor-binding domains (RBDs) of SARS-CoV-2, which include the wild-type RBD and three variants (Delta, Delta Plus, and Omicron). a The wild-type RBD structure is represented by a ribbon visualization in a pink color. b The delta RBD structure is depicted as a ribbon in a striking red color, emphasizing its specific mutations (R452 and K478). c The delta plus RBD structure is presented as a ribbon in an orange color, with its mutations (N417, R452, and K478) highlighted in a vibrant yellow shade. d The Omicron RBD structure is showcased as a ribbon in a regal purple color, and its mutations (K440, S446, N417, N477, K478, A484, R493, S496, R498, Y501, and H505) are highlighted in a vibrant yellow color. e The superimposed model encompasses the comparative analysis of the structural conformation of various SARS-CoV-2 variants’ RBDs with the wild-type (WT) RBD
