Abstract BACKGROUND: The existence of mutated Delta (B.1.617.2) variants of SARS-CoV-2 causes rapid transmissibility, increase in virulence, and decrease in the effectiveness of public health. Majority of mutations are seen in the surface spike, and they are considered as antigenicity and immunogenicity of the virus. Hence, finding suitable cross antibody or natural antibody and understanding its biomolecular recognition for neutralizing surface spike are crucial for developing many clinically approved COVID-19 vaccines. Here, we aim to design SARS-CoV-2 variant and hence, to understand its mechanism, binding affinity and neutralization potential with several antibodies. RESULTS: In this study, we modelled six feasible spike protein (S1) configurations for Delta SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.617.2) and identified the best structure to interact with human antibodies. Initially, the impact of mutations at the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of B.1.617.2 was tested, and it is found that all mutations increase the stability of proteins (DeltaDeltaG) and decrease the entropies. An exceptional case is noted for the mutation of G614D variant for which the vibration entropy change is found to be within the range of 0.133-0.004 kcal/mol/K. Temperature-dependent free energy change values (DeltaG) for wild type is found to be - 0.1 kcal/mol, whereas all other cases exhibit values within the range of - 5.1 to - 5.5 kcal/mol. Mutation on spike increases the interaction with the glycoprotein antibody CR3022 and the binding affinity (CLUSpro energy = - 99.7 kcal/mol). The docked Delta variant with the following antibodies, etesevimab, bebtelovimab, BD-368-2, imdevimab, bamlanivimab, and casirivimab, exhibit a substantially decreased docking score (- 61.7 to - 112.0 kcal/mol) and the disappearance of several hydrogen bond interactions. CONCLUSION: Characterization of antibody resistance for Delta variant with respect to the wild type gives understanding regarding why Delta variant endures the resistance boosted through several trademark vaccines. Several interactions with CR3022 have appeared compared to Wild for Delta variant, and hence, it is suggested that modification on the CR3022 antibody could further improve for the prevention of viral spread. Antibody resistance decreased significantly due to numerous hydrogen bond interactions which clearly indicate that these marketed/launched vaccines (etesevimab) will be effective for Delta variants.
