Mutation Pattern in the Receptor Binding Motif of SARS-Cov-2 Variants and the Effect on Molecular Interactions in Docked Ligand Complexes

Abstract: The spike glycoprotein of SARS-Cov-2 is a therapeutic target for Covid-19 and mutations in the Receptor Binding Motif (RBM) may alter the binding properties of ligands proposed to inhibit viral entry. This study aimed to identify the existence of a mutation pattern in the RBMs of SARS-Cov-2 variants and study the effect on ligand binding interactions. RBM sequences were obtained using NCBI BLASTP and subjected to multiple and pairwise sequence alignment analysis. Hypothetical generations were drawn from the ph… Show more

“…The molecular dynamics production was run at 200 ns of NPT (constant number N, pressure P, and temperature T), where equilibration of the system was reached at 300 K for another 2 ns at a pressure of 1 bar. After molecular dynamics simulation, the PTRAJ and CPPTRAJ modules in AMBER 14 were used to analyse root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), root-mean-square fluctuations (RMSF) and region of gyration (RoG) [ 40 ].…”
