It remains unclear whether any conserved RBD epitopes persist across SARS-CoV-2 variants and whether vaccination and/or breakthrough infection (BTI) can elicit antibodies capable of targeting these conserved regions to counter future variants. Here, using a heterogeneous double-bait single B-cell sorting strategy, we identify a subset of antibodies with broad-spectrum RBD binding, including recognition of SARS-CoV-1 and emerging variants such as EG.5.1, BA.2.86, JN.1, and KP.2/3. These broadly binding antibodies (bbAbs) exhibit elevated levels of somatic hypermutation but are infrequently derived from clonally expanded B lymphocytes. Passive transfer of representative bbAbs reduces viral infection in a male hamster model. Structural analyses reveals that these bbAbs primarily target three distinct, highly conserved RBD epitopes, suggesting potential regions of future mutational pressure and highlighting the presence of conserved and immunogenic RBD conformations that may serve as a foundation for the development of broadly protective vaccines.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
