Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a transmembrane protein known for its physiological role in the renin-angiotensin system that also serves as a receptor for entry of SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and the seasonal human coronavirus NL63 (hCoV-NL63). ACE2 contains seven N-linked glycosylation sites. Molecular simulation and binding analyses suggest that some of them are involved in the interaction with the Spike...
