Three-Dimensional Structural Stability and Local Electrostatic Potential at Point Mutations in Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus
The contagiousness of SARS-CoV-2 β-coronavirus is determined by the virus–receptor electrostatic association of its positively charged spike (S) protein with the negatively charged angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2 receptor) of the epithelial cells. If some mutations occur, the electrostatic pot...
