Computational biophysical characterization of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding with the ACE2 receptor and implications for infectivity
SARS-CoV-2 is a novel highly virulent pathogen which gains entry to human cells by binding with the cell surface receptor – angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE2). We computationally contrasted the binding interactions between human ACE2 and coronavirus spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) of t...
