Cover Story: As COVID-19 mutates, its potential to evade immunity remains a global concern. Our study benchmarks existing predictive methods for analyzing immune escape in emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. By modeling the 2B04 antibody’s binding with wild-type and different variant receptors, we compared three computational approaches: molecular-dynamic-enhanced forced placement based on a template, protein–protein docking, and AlphaFold 3.0 complex structure prediction. AlphaFold emerged as the most efficient approach, delivering high accuracy with minimal false positives, outperforming docking and forced placement in terms of time and reliability. Our findings highlight the critical role of rapid, accurate prediction in assessing vaccine efficacy against novel variants. View this paper
