    Snippet: Here, to obtain deeper insights into S protein structure for biological understanding and therapeutic targeting, we employ a combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and artificial intelligence (AI) methodology on a series of coronavirus S proteins. Specifically, we investigate the S proteins from the current SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and human coronavirus HKU1 (HCoV-HKU1). From structural.....
    Document: Here, to obtain deeper insights into S protein structure for biological understanding and therapeutic targeting, we employ a combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and artificial intelligence (AI) methodology on a series of coronavirus S proteins. Specifically, we investigate the S proteins from the current SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and human coronavirus HKU1 (HCoV-HKU1). From structural analysis of extensive MD simulations, we find substantial flexibility between the subunits of the S proteins. We find that reduced distance matrix representations, interpreted by unsupervised deep learning (DL), reveal important regions for S protein trimerization. These regions present potential targets for therapeutic development.
