Abstract excerpt
The functional adaptability and conformational plasticity of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins allow for the efficient modulation of complex phenotypic responses to the host receptor and antibodies. In this study, we combined atomistic simulations with mutational and perturbation-based scanning approaches to examine binding mechanisms of the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins with three different classes of antibodies. The...
