Sequence characterization and molecular modeling of clinically relevant variants of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease

2020-05-15

Abstract excerpt

The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M pro ) is essential to viral replication and cleaves highly specific substrate sequences, making it an obvious target for inhibitor design. However, as for any virus, SARS-CoV-2 is subject to constant selection pressure, with new M pro mutations arising over time. Identification and structural characterization of M pro variants is thus critical for robust inhibitor design. Here we...
