Density functional theory computation of the binding free energies between various mutations of SARS-CoV-2 RBD and human ACE2: molecular level roots of the contagiousness

The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 attaches to the human ACE2 to initiate binding of SARS-CoV-2 to human cell and leads to the infection process afterwards. In this study, various mutations of SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD and human ACE2 complexes are investigated via density functional theory (...
