A modular molecular framework for quickly estimating the binding affinity of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 variants for ACE2, in presence of mutations at the spike receptor binding domain

2021-05-26

Abstract excerpt

The rapid spread of new SARS-CoV-2 variants needs the development of rapid tools for predicting the affinity of the mutated proteins responsible for the infection, i.e., the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, for the human ACE2 receptor, aiming to understand if a variant can be more efficient in invading host cells. Here we show how our computational pipeline, previously used for studying SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding...
