According to the paper, F486 is a phenylalanine residue (i.e., an amino acid that is part of a chain that forms a protein) on SARS-CoV-2. It has an important interaction with ACE2 (best seen in Fig. 1(C) and Fig. 2(A)). Looking at this phenylalanine and the green residues surrounding it, which statement best describes the interaction that could be occurring?

Question

According to the paper, F486 is a phenylalanine residue (i.e., an amino acid that is part
of a chain that forms a protein) on SARS-CoV-2. It has an important interaction with
ACE2 (best seen in Fig. 1(C) and Fig. 2(A)). Looking at this phenylalanine and the green
residues surrounding it, which statement best describes the interaction that could be
occurring?

a) It forms a hydrogen bond with Y83. 

b) It forms a dipole-dipole interaction with M82. 

c) It forms London dispersion forces with surrounding residues. 

d) It encounters repulsions from surrounding residues. 

1. As you can see in Fig. 1(C), there is an interaction between A475 on SARS-CoV-2 and $19
on ACE-2. A475 is the amino acid alanine, and S19 is serine. Remember, amino acids
form chains through a condensation reaction, as illustrated here:
