Free Energy Simulations of Receptor-Binding Domain Opening of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Indicate a Barrierless Transition with Slow Conformational Motions

[Image: see text] Infection by sarbecoviruses begins with the attachment of the homotrimeric viral “spike” protein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor on the surface of mammalian cells. This requires one or more receptor-binding domains (RBDs) to be in the open (up) position. Here, we pr...
