## Coarse grained simulations of the spike protein RBD and ACE2
This project contains datasets corresponding to molecular simulations of the RBD:ACE2 system using the [Karanicolas and Brooks][1] model.
Trajectories are provided in [Gromacs][2] `.xtc` format.
Two datasets are included:
* Replica exchange simulation trajectories at 285 K (rep0) and 300 K (rep5).
* Equilibrium binding trajectories.
We additionally provide `.pdb` files that will be necessary to visualize the simulations.
These data were reported in the following preprint:
David De Sancho, Raul Perez-Jimenez, Jose A Gavira. *Coarse-grained molecular simulations of the binding of the SARS-CoV 2 spike protein RBD to the ACE2 cell receptor*. BioRxiv (2020)
