2020-11-13
Abstract excerpt
COVID-19 is caused by the novel enveloped beta-coronavirus with a genomic RNA closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus (SARS-CoV) and is named coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The receptor binding domain (RBD) of the S-protein interacts with the human ACE-2 receptor that enables the initiation of viral entry. Hence, blocking the S-protein interactions by means of synthetic compounds mark the pi...
