0-241 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Homology structural models of viral spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 (QHO62112.1) and Bat-CoV (AAZ67052.1) were built by using the tools of the SWISS-MODEL modeling server and the DeepView/Swiss-PdbViewer 4.01 software (Arnold et al., 2006[1]). |
T32 |
242-319 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Several models were obtained and the quality of each structure was evaluated. |
T33 |
320-439 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The best model for SARS-CoV-2 spike was obtained using the crystal structure of SARS-CoV spike protein (PDB code 6ACC). |
T34 |
440-554 |
Sentence |
denotes |
On the other hand, for Bat-CoV, the best model was obtained using as template the crystal structure PDB code 6ACD. |
T35 |
555-625 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These models were subjected to further protein structure optimization. |
T36 |
626-712 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Hydrogen atoms were added and the partial charges were assigned for energy refinement. |
T37 |
713-765 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The protein model was embedded in a 100 Å water box. |
T38 |
766-956 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Then, energy minimization was performed while applying constraints to the protein backbone to preserve global folding and optimizing the relative position of the water molecules and protein. |
