This study provides structural and biophysical bases to further evaluate the role of the MERS-CoV macro domain in the host response via ADP-ribose binding but also as a potential target for drug design. Variations in strength of the hydrogen bond and orientation of the side chain in Asp residues may result in differential binding affinities of ADP-ribose observed in macro domains of MERS-CoV (K d 2.95 M), SARS-CoV (K d 24 M) (36), and HCoV-229E (K d 28.9 M) (41) . Structural analysis revealed that differences in the context of hydrogen bonds formed by the conserved Asp with ADPribose and residues in ␣1 helices in macro domains of MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and HCoV-229E may result in differential binding affinities for ADP-ribose. ./cache/cord-272710-uq2idlca.txt ./txt/cord-272710-uq2idlca.txt
