Abstract
In this research project we will study the effect of solvation on protein-protein association, using as an example the formation of the non-structural protein 9 dimer (NSP9) of SARS-CoV-2. NSP9 has been considered important for virus replication while human cells are being infected. It has been observed that this dimerization in solution occurs through a preserved ±-helicoidal motif calle…
