Peptide Scanning of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Subunit 1 Reveals Potential Additional Receptor Binding Sites
2021-08-16
Abstract excerpt
The binding of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 to the ACE2 receptor on human cells is mediated by the spike protein subunit 1 (S1) on the virus surfaces, while the receptor binding domains (RBDs) of S1 are the major determinants for the interaction with ACE2 and dominant targets of neutralizing antibodies. However, at the virus-host interface, additional biomolecular interactions, although being relatively weak in affinit...
