0-12 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PCA and aFEL |
T142 |
13-113 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To identify the dominant motions in the nCOV-2019, SARS-COV, and all the mutants, PCA was performed. |
T143 |
114-319 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Most of the combined motions were captured by the first ten eigenvectors generated from the last 400 ns for SARS-COV, nCOV-2019, and extended mutant systems and the last 200 ns for other nCOV-2019 mutants. |
T144 |
320-434 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The percentage of the motions captured by the first three eigenvectors was 51% for nCOV-2019 and 68% for SARS-COV. |
T145 |
435-528 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In all mutations, more than 50% of the motions were captured by the first three eigenvectors. |
T146 |
529-689 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The first few PC’s describe the highest motions in a protein which are related to a functional motion such as binding or unbinding of protein from the receptor. |
T147 |
690-889 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The first three eigenvectors were used to calculate the aFEL using the last 400 ns of simulation for nCOV-2019 and SARS-COV as shown in Figure 5, which displays the variance in conformational motion. |
T148 |
890-988 |
Sentence |
denotes |
SARS-COV showed two distinct low free energy states shown as blue separated by a metastable state. |
T149 |
989-1090 |
Sentence |
denotes |
There is a clear separation between the two regions by a free energy barrier of about 6–7.5 kcal/mol. |
T150 |
1091-1206 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These two states correspond to the loop motions in the L3 as well as the motion in C-terminal residues of SARS-COV. |
T151 |
1207-1355 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The L3 motion in nCOV-2019 is stabilized by the H-bond between N487 on RBD and Y83 on ACE2 as well as a π-stacking interaction between F486 and Y83. |
T152 |
1356-1552 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It is evident that the nCOV-2019 RBD is more stable than SASR-COV RBD and exists in one conformation whereas the SARS-COV interface fluctuates and the aFEL is separated into two different regions. |
T153 |
1553-1774 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The first two eigenvectors were used to calculate and plot the aFEL as a function of first two principal components using the last 200 ns of the simulation for mutant systems. aFEL for other systems is shown in Figure S4. |
T154 |
1775-1934 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Figure 5 Mapping of the principal components of the RBD for the aFEL from the last 400 ns of simulations for SARS-COV (top row) and nCOV-2019-wt (bottom row). |
T155 |
1935-1993 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The color bar is relative to the lowest free energy state. |
T156 |
1994-2272 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In each system, the first eigenvector was used to construct the porcupine plots to visualize the most dominant movements (Figure S5). nCOV-2019 showed a small motion in L3 and the core region and the extended loop region are very rigid showing small cones in the porcupine plot. |
T157 |
2273-2378 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The core structure of the RBD remains dormant as the cones are blue in most of the regions (Figure S5-A). |
T158 |
2379-2448 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In SARS-COV, the C-terminal region shows large motions (Figure S5-B). |
T159 |
2449-2506 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Mutation N487A showed a large motion in L1 (Figure S5-C). |
T160 |
2507-2585 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Mutations Y449A, G447A, and E484A demonstrate large motions in L3 (Figure S5). |
T161 |
2586-2695 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Overall, these plots show the involvement of these residues in the dynamic stability of the RBD/ACE2 complex. |
