Simulations of pH and thermal effects on SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein by Ziyuan Niu, Georgios Kementzidis, Miriam Rafailovich, Marcia Simon, Evangelos Papadopoulos, Bertal H. Aktas, Yuefan Deng

“…Smaller structural changes are observed at pH = 3 and 11. 2) The pH and thermal conditions impact on the protein structures: substantial acidic and basic conditions expand the protein’s solvent exposure, while high heat contracts. This effect is primarily pH-driven at extreme acidity and thermo-driven at moderate pH. 3) The Gibbs free energy landscape reveals that pH as the main driver of structural changes. 4) The parametrized methods enable the predictions of the S-protein properties at any reasonable pH and thermal conditions without explicit MD simulations.…”
