Peptide sequences and small molecule structures. (a) Peptide sequences derived from ACE2 peptidase domain with and without modifications (Pep 1–Pep 5). Pep6 was derived from the S1 RBD sequence. (b) Chemical structures of small molecules VE607, Emodin, SSAA09E2, and cepharanthine. Usually D-amino acids in one letter code is described with lowercase.
