      Evaluation Summary:

      This manuscript is of interest to virologists working on SARS-CoV-2, as well as biochemists and biophysicists who perform binding experiments with surface plasmon resonance (SPR), as it provides detailed affinity and kinetics analysis of the effect of mutations in variants of concern in the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain with receptor ACE2 and two 'common' mutations in ACE2.
