The New Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2): A Comprehensive Review on Immunity and the Application of Bioinformatics and Molecular Modeling to the Discovery of Potential Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Agents 2020-09-07 .txt text/plain 15780 708 42 The use of bioinformatics and other computational tools in addition to molecular modeling has helped researchers from different areas in the search for strategies for diagnosing viral infection, in the development of vaccines for its prevention, as well as in the discovery of new anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents. In the context of COVID-19, this characteristic was important for a better understanding of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 from the comparative analysis of genomic data of the new virus with others from the same family, suggesting its origin from natural selection, with modifications in its spike protein, more specifically in the host receptor binding domain, which may have enhanced its interaction and recognition by the human cell [83, 91] . The contributions of bioinformatics and molecular modeling in elucidating essential targets for the planning and development of new drugs, and the analysis of already known compounds, support the search for safer and more effective treatments against SARS-CoV-2 infection. ./cache/cord-281281-knelqmzx.txt ./txt/cord-281281-knelqmzx.txt
