Receptor binding motif of the spike protein
This one has quite a few more mutations than some of the other variants, so that's why we've taken it particularly seriously.
The strain was identified by Public Health England monitoring, following a surge in cases seen in Kent and London.
, identifying it as the first variant under investigation in December 2020.
This variant is growing faster than the existing variants.“
As of 13 December, 1108 cases with this variant have been identified, predominantly in the South and East of England.
There is nothing to suggest that this variant is more likely to cause serious disease".
1-2 mutations per month globally

Specifically, the mutations are the changing of one amino acid to another and the deletion of two other amino acids. The amino acids are the building blocks of the virus.
