abstract = {The pandemic of COVID-19 severe acute respiratory syndrome,
which was fatal for millions of people worldwide,
triggeredthe race to understand in detail the molecular
mechanisms of this disease. In this work, the differences of
interactions betweenthe SARS-CoV/SARS-CoV-2 Receptor binding
domain (RBD) and the human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2
(ACE2)receptor were studied using in silico tools. Our
results show that SARS-CoV-2 RBD is more stable and forms
more interactionswith ACE2 than SARS-CoV. At its interface,
three stable binding patterns are observed and named
red-K31, green-K353 and blue-M82 according to the central
ACE2 binding residue. In SARS-CoV instead, only the first
two binding patchesare persistently formed during the MD
simulation. Our MM/GBSA calculations indicate the binding
free energy differenceof about 2.5 kcal/mol between
SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV which is compatible with the
experiments. The binding freeenergy decomposition points out
that SARS-CoV-2 RBD–ACE2 interactions of the red-K31 (
−23.5 ± 0.2 kcal∕mol ) andblue-M82 ( −9.1 ± 0.1
kcal∕mol ) patterns contribute more to the binding
affinity than in SARS-CoV ( −1.8 ± 0.02 kcal∕molfor
red-K31), while the contribution of the green-K353 pattern
is very similar in the two strains ( −17.8 ± 0.2
kcal∕moland −22.7 ± 0.1 kcal∕mol for SARS-CoV-2 and
SARS-CoV, respectively). Five groups of mutations draw our
attentionat the RBD–ACE2 binding interface, among them,
the mutation –PPA469-471/GVEG482-485 has the most
important andfavorable impact on SARS-CoV-2 binding to the
ACE2 receptor. These results, highlighting the molecular
differences in thebinding between the two viruses,
contribute to the common knowledge about the new corona
virus and to the developmentof appropriate antiviral
treatments, addressing the necessity of ongoing pandemics.},
