Figure 4 The RBM region of S proteins from SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV alignment.

Notes: (A) The six key amino acids in the S protein interacting with human ACE2 shown by black triangles. (B) Structural Alignment of the ACE2 recognition of RBD from SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. Human ACE2 (hACE2), SARS-CoV-2 RBD, and SARS-CoV RBD are in orange-red, blue, and green, respectively.
