Abstract excerpt
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M pro ) plays an essential role in the coronavirus lifecycle by catalyzing hydrolysis of the viral polyproteins at specific sites. M pro is the target of drugs, such as nirmatrelvir, though resistant mutants have emerged that threaten drug efficacy. Despite its importance, questions remain on the mechanism of how M pro binds its...
