Table . Six interaction scenarios based upon our calculated energetics (Table ). ΣMaxn = the sum of maximum calculated values for each interaction (n=1-4); ΣMinn = the sum of minimum such values; Averagetot = the average of all calculated interaction energetics for a given virus; ΣAveragen = the sum of average values for each interaction. As in the information derived from them, however, should be critically evaluated and not be taken "too literally". Bearing this in mind, we suspect that the interactions considered in this work favor SARS-CoV over 2019-nCoV in terms of their overall contribution to the virus' ACE2 affinity. Nevertheless, additional crucial binding factors should certainly be considered for the purpose of arriving at unambiguous, practically-useful predictions of such affinities.
