“…In particular, many dynamical structural analysis studies have been performed, such as the movement of the open structure of the spike (S) protein, the evaluation of the effect of glycans, ,, the binding mechanism of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the S protein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) or antibodies, the binding of the main protease (Mpro) to inhibitors, , and the apo and the remdesivir-binding structure of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). , As for QM calculation, the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method , is one of the methods that can treat the entire protein with uniform accuracy. The FMO calculation for several specific SARS-CoV-2-related proteins, such as the S protein, − Mpro, − and RdRp, have been performed using the ABINIT-MP program , and the GAMESS program. − The ABINIT-MP program used in this paper is capable of performing precise electron correlation calculations at the MP4 (SDQ) level for S proteins of up to 3300 residues using the Fugaku supercomputer . On the other hand, the FMO-DFTB method included in GAMESS is suitable for screening owing to its much lower computational cost .…”
