Figure 6

Structures of RBD of spike proteins and peptides and RBD binding region of ACE 2. (a) RBD and ACE, (b) RBD and gramicidin S, (c) RBD and melittin. The ACE2 binding region in RBD is colored violet. In ACE2, gramicidin S and melittin, the peptide regions binding to RBD are represented as sticks. LigPlots of interaction between ACE2 binding domain of the spike protein and (d) gramicidin S and (e) melittin. The residues of the RBD involved in binding to ACE2 are in yellow. The structures in panel (ac) were generated using Discovery Studio v19.1.0.18287. The figures in panel (d, e) were generated using LigPlot.
