Scope and Contents

Contents

The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein contains a fatty acid binding site, also found in some other coronaviruses (e.g. SARS-CoV), which binds linoleic acid and is functionally important. When occupied by linoleic acid, it reduces infectivity, by "locking" the spike in a less infectious conformation. Here, we use dynamical-nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (...
