Impact of viral membrane oxidation on SARS-CoV-2 spike protein transmembrane anchoring stability

Maryam Ghasemitarei, Cristina Gyursanszky, Mikko Karttunen, Tapio Ala-Nissilä

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that partial oxidation of viral membrane lipids reduces SARS-CoV-2 spike protein anchoring stability, with full oxidation lowering the anchoring free energy by 23%.

Effect of cysteine oxidation in SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein on its conformational changes: insights from atomistic simulations

Maryam Ghasemitarei, Hoda Taeb, Tayebeh Ghorbi…·Annemie Bogaerts

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that cysteine oxidation in SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein increases energy barriers for conformational transitions, stabilizing the protein structure.
