Conservation prediction of the ACE2 protein sequence was analyzed with ConSurf (https://consurf.tau.ac.il/), a web server used for identifying functional regions in proteins by analysing the evolutionary dynamics of AA substitutions among homologous sequences. The conservation score of 1-3 is variable, 5-6 as an intermediate scale, and 7-9 as a highly conserved AA positions [19].
