Fig. 3 — Quantitative analysis of the ACE2-RBD interactions. (a) Hydrogen bonds between ACE2 and RBD/RBD^O. The time traces of hydrogen bond numbers observed during the simulations are shown on the left and middle columns. The histograms are shown on the right column to compare the statistics between the wild type system and the Omicron variant system. (b) The number of residue contacts between ACE2 and RBD. (c) The buried surface area due to ACE2-RBD binding. Similar to (a), the histograms are shown to facilitate the comparison in (b, c).
