Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2's rapid global transmission depends on spike RBD's strong affinity to hACE2. In the context of binding hot spots well defined, the work investigated how interfacial subregions of SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD to hACE2 affect intermolecular affinity and their potential distinct roles involved in association and dissociation kinetics due to their local structural characteristics. Three spatially consecutive...
