Abstract excerpt
Recent experimental work has shown that the N501Y mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein's receptor binding domain (RBD) increases binding affinity to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), primarily by overcompensating for a less favorable enthalpy of binding by greatly reducing the entropic penalty for complex formation, but the basis for this entropic overcompensation is not clear [Prévost et al. J....
