Screening coronavirus and human proteins for sialic acid binding sites using a docking approach

The initial step of interaction of some pathogens with the host is driven by the interaction of glycoproteins of either side via endcaps of their glycans. These end caps consist of sialic acids or sugar molecules. Coronaviruses (CoVs), including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-...
