Abstract excerpt

Investigating the effects of residue-level variations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 influence the molecular recognition and binding behavior toward the human ACE2 protein is essential for elucidating viral evolution and transmissibility. Earlier structural and computational analyses have provided valuable insights into the ACE2-RBD interaction mechanism. However, a systematic comparison...
