2327-2773 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Furthermore, in the cases of RdRp/remdesivir, RdRp/EGCG, RdRp/TF3, and RdRp/TF2b, ΔEele is over-compensated by the desolvation energy (ΔGpol), indicating that the sum of these two components, ΔGpol + elec, is unfavorable to the binding and varies between 0.84 kcal/mol and 11.57 kcal/mol (see Table 4) and similar results are found for RdRp/myricetin, RdRp/quercetagetin, RdRp/hesperidin, and RdRp/TF1 (see Table S2 in Supplementary Information). |
T299 |
2774-2892 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In contrast, in the case of RdRp/TF2a, ΔGpol + elec, is favorable to the complexation (ΔGpol + elec = −0.34 kcal/mol). |
T300 |

Sentence |
denotes |
Overall, this suggests that the complex formation is mainly driven by the van der Waals interactions between polyphenols as well as remdesivir and RdRp. |

T305 |
3666-3795 |
Sentence |
denotes |
TF3 binds most strongly to RdRp because both ΔEvdW and ΔEelec are more favorable to the binding compared to the other inhibitors. |
T306 |
3796-4056 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Similarly, TF2a binds more strongly to RdRp compared to EGCG or TF2b because ΔGpol + elec is favorable for TF2a (ΔGpol + elec = −0.34 kcal/mol) while it is found to be unfavorable for EGCG (ΔGpol + elec = 2.24 kcal/mol) and TF2b (ΔGpol + elec = 7.83 kcal/mol). |
