Comparative docking studies to understand the binding affinity of nicotine with soluble ACE2 (sACE2)-SARS-CoV-2 complex over sACE2

The study aimed to validate the proficiency of nicotine binding with the soluble angiotensin-converting enzyme II receptor (sACE2) with or without SARS-CoV-2 in the context of its binding affinity. Modelled human sACE2 and the spike (S1) protein of Indian SARS-CoV-2 (INS1) docked with each other. On...
