Abstract excerpt
The binding affinity of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S)-protein to the human membrane protein ACE2 is critical for virus function. Computational structure-based screening of new S-protein mutations for ACE2 binding lends promise to rationalize virus function directly from protein structure and ideally aid early detection of potentially concerning variants. We used a computational protocol based on cryo-electron...
