Computational study of the strong binding mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 spike and ACE2
2020-06-30
Abstract excerpt
The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2-S) helps the virus attach to and infect human cells. With various computational methods applied in this work, the accessibility of its RBD to ACE2, its key residues for stronger binding to ACE2 than the SARS-CoV spike (SARS-CoV-S), the origin of the stronger binding, and its potential sites for drug and antibody design were explored. It was found that the SARS-CoV-2...
