Antiviral activity of natural phenolic compounds in complex at an allosteric site of SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease
11 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) covers multiple functions. Beside the cysteine-protease activity, facilitating cleavage of the viral polypeptide chain, PLpro has the additional and vital function of removing ubiquitin and ISG15 (Interferon-stimulated gene 15) from host-cell proteins to support coronaviruses in evading the host's innate immune responses. We identified three phenolic compounds bound to...
