Two-dimensional structure of Rifaximin and three-dimensional illustration of its interaction with the ACE2 binding pocket of SARS-CoV-2-RBD. (A) Representation of 2 D structure of Rifaximin small molecule in complexs. The green, light green and pink spheres represent residues involved in carbon hydrogen bond interactions, the hydrophobic interactions, and Pi-Alkyl interactions, respectively (B) Hydrogen bonds in protein-ligand complex are shown as yellow dotted lines. (C) 3 D illustration of Rifaximin (stick representation) in the binding pocket of SARS-CoV-2-RBD (surface representation) (PDB ID: 6vw1).
