Despite that we found the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 is particularly more conserved, we identified a mutation that leads to weaker receptor binding capability, which concerns a SARS-CoV-2 sample collected on 27th January 2020 from India. We provided first evidence that a mutated SARS-COV-2 with reduced human ACE2 receptor binding affinity have emerged in India based on a sample collected on 27th January 2020. The discrepant phylogenies for the spike protein and its 23 receptor binding domain proved a previously reported structural rearrangement prior to the emergence of SARSDespite that we found the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 is particularly more conserved, we identified a mutation that 25 leads to weaker receptor binding capability, which concerns a SARS-CoV-2 sample collected on 27 th January 2020 from 26 ./cache/cord-353777-t8q99tlq.txt ./txt/cord-353777-t8q99tlq.txt
