Effects of Mutations in the Receptor-Binding Domain of SARS-CoV-2 Spike on its Binding Affinity to ACE2 and Neutralizing Antibodies Revealed by Computational Analysis

2021-03-15

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is responsible for one of the most deleterious pandemics of our time. The interaction between the ACE2 receptors at the surface of human cells and the viral Spike (S) protein triggers the infection making the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 S-protein a focal target for the neutralizing antibodies (Abs). Despite the recent progress in the develo...
