Molecular insights into receptor binding energetics and neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants

Here, the authors combine single-molecule atomic force spectroscopy measurements and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the binding of spike proteins from four SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VoC) to the human ACE2 receptor. They observe an increase in the RBD-ACE2 complex stability for s...
