SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease is one of the key targets for drug development against COVID-19. Most known SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors act by covalently binding to the active site cysteine. Yet, computational screens against this enzyme were mainly f...
In the recent COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 infection spread worldwide. TheĀ 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is a promising drug target for SARS-CoV-2. We constructed a deep learning-based convolutional neural network-quantitative structure-activity relat...

BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiologic agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), triggers a pathophysiological process linked not only to viral mechanisms of infectivity, but also to the pattern of...
Blocking the main replicating enzyme, 3 Chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL) is the most promising drug development strategy against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic. In the present work, 9101 drugs obtained from the dr...
A global pandemic has emerged following the appearance of the new severe acute respiratory virus whose official name is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), strongly affecting the health sector as well as the world econom...
