9 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although androgen in gender disparity of COVID-19 has been implied, no direct link has been provided. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Here, we applied AlphaFold multimer, network and single cells database analyses to highlight specificity of Androgen receptor (AR) against spike receptor binding protein (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2. RESULTS: LXXL motifs in spike RBD are essential for AR binding. RBD LXXA mutation...
