Abstract excerpt
Quantifying the thermodynamic impact of amino acid substitutions on the binding of nirmatrelvir to the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is fundamental for predicting drug resistance and informing the rational design of next-generation inhibitors. Here, we present an integrated computational pipeline to systematically map the resistance landscape of the Mpro-nirmatrelvir complex. Using alanine-scanning approach...
