Role of changes in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the interaction with the human ACE2 receptor: An in silico analysis
25 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
approach was performed, and changes were detected in the S1 subunit of the receptor-binding domain of spike. The observed changes have significant effect on SARS-CoV-2 spike/ACE2 interaction and produce a reduction in the binding energy, compared to the one of the Bat-CoV to this receptor. The data presented in this study suggest a higher affinity of the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein to the human ACE2 receptor,...
