Mutational landscape and <i>in silico</i> structure models of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor Binding Domain reveal key molecular determinants for virus-host interaction
2020-05-02
Abstract excerpt
Protein-protein interactions between virus and host are crucial for infection. SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19 pandemic is an RNA virus prone to mutations. Formation of a stable binding interface between the Spike (S) protein R eceptor B inding D omain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 and A ngiotensin- C onverting E nzyme 2 (ACE2) of host actuates viral entry. Yet, how this binding interface evolves as virus...
