1 Catechin and curcumin interact with S protein of SARS-CoV2 and ACE2 of human cell membrane: insights from computational studies. Catechin angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Homo sapiens
2 It is evident from the present computational study, that catechin and curcumin, not only exhibit strong binding affinity to viral S Protein and host receptor ACE2 but also to their complex (receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of SARS-CoV2 and ACE2; RBD/ACE2-complex). Catechin angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Homo sapiens
3 It is evident from the present computational study, that catechin and curcumin, not only exhibit strong binding affinity to viral S Protein and host receptor ACE2 but also to their complex (receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of SARS-CoV2 and ACE2; RBD/ACE2-complex). Catechin angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Homo sapiens
4 It is evident from the present computational study, that catechin and curcumin, not only exhibit strong binding affinity to viral S Protein and host receptor ACE2 but also to their complex (receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of SARS-CoV2 and ACE2; RBD/ACE2-complex). Catechin angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Homo sapiens
5 The binding affinity values of catechin and curcumin for the S protein, ACE2 and RBD/ACE2-complex are - 10.5 and - 7.9 kcal/mol; - 8.9 and - 7.8 kcal/mol; and - 9.1 and - 7.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Catechin angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Homo sapiens
6 The binding affinity values of catechin and curcumin for the S protein, ACE2 and RBD/ACE2-complex are - 10.5 and - 7.9 kcal/mol; - 8.9 and - 7.8 kcal/mol; and - 9.1 and - 7.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Catechin angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Homo sapiens
7 Both catechin and curcumin bind the interface of "RBD/ACE2-complex" and intervene in causing fluctuation of the alpha helices and beta-strands of the protein complex. Catechin angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Homo sapiens
8 Protein-protein interaction studies in presence of curcumin or catechin also corroborate the above findings suggesting the efficacy of these two polyphenols in hindering the formation of S Protein-ACE2 complex. Catechin angiotensin converting enzyme 2 Homo sapiens
