Structure, dynamics and free energy studies on the effect of point mutations on SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding with ACE2 receptor
Fig 3
The ΔRMSF of RBD-N501Y and ACE2 (a) from wildtype to variant forms of RBD mapped to the initial bound structure of ACE2&RBD-N501Y; and the ΔRMSF of RBD-trimutant and ACE2 (b) mapped to the initial bound structure of the complex. Colors range from blue to white to red (with white representing no change in RMSF, blue representing RMSF decrease, and red representing RMSF increase). The ΔRMSF is in the range from -0.5 (totally blue) to 0.5 (totally red).
