Snippet: The alanine scan of the spike protein RBD of SARS-CoV-1, on the other hand, shows less significant penalty to the binding score upon mutation to alanine. Only six residues (Tyr436, Tyr440, Asn473, Tyr484, Thr486, and Thr487) are involved in strong electrostatic coupling with ACE2 residues (indicated in Table 1 ). In summary, alanine scans indicate that SARS-CoV-2 has the highest number of "effectively" interacting residues at the ACE2 binding int.....
Document: The alanine scan of the spike protein RBD of SARS-CoV-1, on the other hand, shows less significant penalty to the binding score upon mutation to alanine. Only six residues (Tyr436, Tyr440, Asn473, Tyr484, Thr486, and Thr487) are involved in strong electrostatic coupling with ACE2 residues (indicated in Table 1 ). In summary, alanine scans indicate that SARS-CoV-2 has the highest number of "effectively" interacting residues at the ACE2 binding interface whereas the SARS-CoV-1 spike forms only a few strong ACE2 connectors with a large number of "idle" interface residues (43% -7 out of 16) which do not affect ACE2 binding upon mutation to alanine.
