Mutations to the RBD of SARS-CoV have resulted in the reorganization of SARS-CoV-2 RBD, specifically to the loops that are in close proximity to the ACE2-binding ridge. Due to these structural changes, an additional intramolecular main-chain hydrogen bond is gained between Asn487 and Ala475 (Figure 4a). The Asn487–Ala475 hydrogen bond causes the RBM of SARS-CoV-2 to be more structurally compact, enabling the loop containing Ala475 to move into closer proximity to the ACE2 α1 helix. Closer contact between the RBM and α1 helix of ACE2 results in more intermolecular interactions (Figure 4a,b). Some of these interactions include hydrogen bonds between Gln493 (SARS-CoV-2) and Glu35 (ACE2),[3b,c] and main-chain hydrogen bonds between Gly502 and Lys31.
