Fever temperatures modulate intraprotein dynamics and enhance the binding affinity between monoclonal antibodies and the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2

Fever is a typical symptom of most infectious diseases. While prolonged fever may be clinically undesirable, mild reversible fever (<39℃, 312 K) can potentiate the immune responses against pathogens. Here, using molecular dynamics and free energy calculations, we investigated the effect of febril...
