A powerful AI model called Deep Novel Mutation Search (DNMS) predicts virus mutations more accurately and efficiently than traditional, time-consuming lab experiments. Focused on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the model uses a specialized protein language model fine-tuned to understand the virus's specific “language.” DNMS can predict mutations that cause small, functional changes – crucial for viruses like SARS-CoV-2, which evolve through subtle adjustments to maintain function.

A single vaccine could protect animal models from coronaviruses that cause COVID-19 and the flu. It works by creating antibodies that remove the virus’ protective sugar coat and target a rarely mutating region of the spike protein. Results will be presented at the ACS Spring 2025 Digital Meeting.

Una sola vacuna podría proteger a modelos animales de los coronavirus causantes de la COVID-19 y la gripe. Esta actúa generando anticuerpos que eliminan la capa de azúcar protectora del virus y se dirige a una región de la proteína Spike que rara vez muta. Los resultados se presentarán en el Encuentro digital de primavera de 2025 de la ACS.
