Popis: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread around the world rapidly, which seriously threatens to human health and safety. The rapid detection of the virus in the early stage is very important to prevent the cross infection and transmission. It is also a key link in the post-treatment examination. This paper has explored the infrared (IR) spectra of spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) for SARS-CoV-2 using molecular dynamics simulations, and the absorption bands are assigned. The calculated IR spectra of water and insulin are compared with that measured in the related literatures. The results showed that O-H stretching vibration generated a strong absorption band located around 3591 cm
