A new paper details an experiment that proves the D614G strain can bind to cells more efficiently, and it also replicates faster than the original strain.

The researchers believe that since the mutation binds better to cells, it may also help make coronavirus vaccines even more effective.

This is beneficial for the virus because it can infect cells better than before. But it’s also a vulnerability that neutralizing antibodies from a vaccine can take advantage of to block the spike from actually latching on to cells. That’s what the vaccines attempt to do, after all. The antibodies that vaccines generate will recognize the signature of the spike protein, and they’ll block it from infecting cells.
