    Snippet: Procko has done unbiased mutagenesis of the ACE2 regions that bind to the RBD of SRS-312 COV-2, 34 and noted that substitution of Thr27 with hydrophobic residues (e.g. alanine) is expected to 313 increase the ability of aromatic residues of the S protein to pack into the ACE2 interface. Procko proteins are urgently justified. Furthermore, given recent data that human recombinant soluble ACE2 321 (hrsACE2) can block early stages of SARS-CoV-2 infe.....
    Document: Procko has done unbiased mutagenesis of the ACE2 regions that bind to the RBD of SRS-312 COV-2, 34 and noted that substitution of Thr27 with hydrophobic residues (e.g. alanine) is expected to 313 increase the ability of aromatic residues of the S protein to pack into the ACE2 interface. Procko proteins are urgently justified. Furthermore, given recent data that human recombinant soluble ACE2 321 (hrsACE2) can block early stages of SARS-CoV-2 infections, 35 any naturally-occurring human ACE2 322 variant that bound more tightly to the viral spike protein might serve as a better "decoy" for the viral 323 protein, and would be a candidate for novel hrsACE2 molecules with therapeutic potential. 324
