The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has a significant impact on healthcare systems and our lives. Vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) provide protection against SARS-CoV-2. However, mutations in the viral genome are common, raising concerns about the effectiveness of existing vaccines for SARS-CoV-2. The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 uses angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) as a gateway to enter host cells. Therefore, the ACE-2-RBD interaction may be targeted by antiviral drugs. In this context, allosteric modulation of ACE-2 may offer a promising approach. It may lead to allosteric inhibition of the interaction between ACE-2 and SARS-CoV-2.

ACE-2 的变构位点作为 COVID-19 的药物靶点

2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行对医疗保健系统和我们的生活产生了重大影响。针对严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 的疫苗可提供针对 SARS-CoV-2 的保护。然而,病毒基因组的突变很常见,这引发了人们对现有 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗有效性的担忧。SARS-CoV-2 的受体结合域 (RBD) 使用血管紧张素转换酶 2 (ACE-2) 作为进入宿主细胞的通道。因此,ACE-2-RBD 相互作用可能是抗病毒药物的靶点。在这种情况下,ACE-2 的变构调节可能提供一种有前途的方法。它可能导致 ACE-2 和 SARS-CoV-2 之间相互作用的变构抑制。
