Y Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been widely spread in the world, causing more than two million deaths and seriously threatening human life. Effective protection measures are important to prevent the infection and spreading of the virus. To explore the effects of graphene on the virus adsorption and its biological properties, the adsorption process of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 on graphene has been investigated by molecular dynamics simulations in this paper. The results show that RBD can be quickly adsorbed onto the surface of graphene due to pi-pi stacking and hydrophobic interactions. Residue PHE486 with benzene ring has stronger adsorption force and the maximum contact area with graphene. Graphene significantly affects the secondary structure of RBD area, especially on the three key sites of binding with human ACE2, GLY476, PHE486 and ASN487. The binding free energy of RBD and graphene shows that the adsorption is irreversible. Undoubtedly, these changes will inevitably affect the pathogenicity of the virus. Therefore, this study provides a theoretical basis for the application of graphene in the protection of SARS-CoV-2, and also provides a reference for the potential application of graphene in the biomedical field.
