The Glutamine-493 residue on the spike protein is an important residue in showing the differences in strength between ACE2 and the minibinders <ref name="Longxing">PMID:32907861</ref>. ACE2 does not make use of this residue when <scene name='10/1075250/Q493_ace2/12'>binding to the RBD</scene>. The nearest residues of ACE2, Gln35 and Lys31, do not form any interaction on Gln493 of the spike protein. The AHB2 minibinder, instead forms a <scene name='10/1075251/Q493-ahb2/1'>hydrogen bond</scene> on the Gln493 of the spike protein residue of the spike protein with its Glu41, increasing affinity to the spike protein. LCB1 forms <scene name='10/1075250/Q493_lcb1/9'>two hydrogen bonds</scene> on Gln493 of the spike protein using its Asp17 and Arg14 residues, giving it the highest affinity based on the Gln493 residue. However, these interactions are not required. LCB1 forms <scene name='10/1075251/Q493-lcb3/1'>no interactions</scene> with the Gln493 residue of the RDB previously mentioned, yet it still has a higher affinity to the RBD than AHB2.

Similarly, ACE2 forms a hydrogen bond with the Lys417 from its Asp30 residue. LCB1, however, forms two hydrogen bonds with both the Lys417 and Arg403 of the spike protein from its Asp30 residue. This is a very strong interaction, further contributing to the high affinity of LCB1 to the spike protein<ref name="Longxing">PMID:32907861</ref>.
