“…A previous study by Khan et al [ 31 ] showed that hACE2–RBD forms hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) with Glu30–Lys417, Glu35–Gln493, Glu38–Tyr449, Glu38–Gly496, Tyr41–Thr500, Tyr41–Thr500, Gln42–Gln498, Asn330–Thr500, Lys353–Gly502, Lys353–Gly496, and Lys353–Gln498, as well as a salt bridge between Glu30 and Lys417. Several other researchers also confirmed that the following residues were important in RBD attachment to hACE: Gly446, Tyr449, Leu455, Phe486, Gln493, Gly496, Gln498, Thr500, Asn501, and Gly502 [ 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Moreover, Phe486, Gln493, and Asn501 in RBD were the most important residues identified by the hACE2 receptor on infected human cells, which simplified the RBD–hACE2 interaction [ 31 , 48 ].…”
