New insight into SARS-CoV-2 main protease opens door to new viral inhibitors

A recent study has revealed a full cycle of substrate cleavage for the main protease of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – providing, in turn, a steadfast foundation for developing potent new viral inhibitors. The paper was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
