Mapping the ACE2 binding site on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1: molecular recognition pattern

Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 enters the host cell via binding with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), and here we used computational modelling to study the molecular recognition pattern of this interaction. The fragment of the N-terminal part of the enzyme containing amino acids 19â45 was used as...
