- The mutants that significantly decrease binding to ACE2 are shown in bold. The * denotes mutant residues that are naturally occurring in various SCV strains (see Fig. 6A). The binding and expression values for the individual mutants are expressed as a percentage of the value for the S319–518 (wt) that is assumed 100%. The values of accessible surface area (ASA, Å2) for mutant residues were calculated from the crystal structure of the S RBD-ACE2 complex (coordinates provided by S. Harrison) by using the Lee and Richards' algorithm [23] with a probe radius of 1.4 Å.
