Structural superposition of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV RBMs binding to ACE2 receptor. Structural alignment of the SARS-CoV-2 RBD/ACE2 (cyan) and SARS-CoV RBD/ACE2 (pink) complexes (left). The RBM of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV is shown in yellow and purple, respectively. The remaining portion of the two RBDs is shown in gray. The PDB codes for SARS-CoV-2 RBM/ACE2 and SARS-CoV RBM/ACE2 are 6M0J and 2AJF, respectively. The interface of SARS-CoV-2 RBD and ACE2 receptor is shown in surface view (right). RBD and ACE2 are colored in yellow and cyan, respectively
