A yeast-based system to study SARS-CoV-2 Mpro structure and to identify nirmatrelvir resistant mutations
2022-08-26
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is a major therapeutic target. The Mpro inhibitor, nirmatrelvir, is the antiviral component of Paxlovid, an orally available treatment for COVID-19. As Mpro 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 Mpro activity, enabling rapid identif...
