Mechanistic Origin of Different Binding Affinities of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBDs to Human ACE2

The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (RBD(CoV2)) has a higher binding affinity to the human receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) than the SARS-CoV RBD (RBD(CoV)). Here, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, binding free energy (BFE) calculations, a...
