Table 1 The table reports mean and standard deviation for both real and absolute (|EC|) values of eigenvector centrality for the three strains.

  1. It is worth noting the neat departure from no effect for the Omicron strain together with the elevated standard deviation (SD (EC)) of current values pointing to the presence of both highly positive and negative EC changes for mutated residues. On the contrary, for the other two strains mutations do not provoke any important change in EC.
