A yeast-based system to study SARS-CoV-2 M <sup>pro</sup> structure and to identify nirmatrelvir resistant mutations
2022-08-08
Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M pro ) is a major therapeutic target. The M pro inhibitor, nirmatrelvir, is the antiviral component of Paxlovid, an orally available treatment for COVID-19. As M pro inhibitor use increases, drug resistant mutations will likely emerge. We have established a non-pathogenic system, in which yeast growth serves as a proxy for M pro activity, enabling rapid identification of mutants...
