The 3C-like protease (M, 3CL) plays a key role in the replication process in coronaviruses (CoVs). The M is an essential enzyme mediates CoVs replication and is a promising target for development of antiviral drugs. Until now, baicalein has been shown the specific activity for SARS-CoV M in vitro experiments. In this study, we resolved the SARS-CoV M with baicalein by X-ray diffraction at 2.25 Å (PDB code 7XAX), which provided a structural basis for the research and development of baicalein as an anti-CoVs drug.
3C 样蛋白酶(M,3CL)在冠状病毒(CoVs)的复制过程中发挥关键作用。M 是一种重要的酶,介导 CoVs 的复制,是开发抗病毒药物的有前途的靶点。到目前为止,黄芩素已在 SARS-CoV M 的体外实验中显示出特异性活性。在这项研究中,我们通过 X 射线衍射在 2.25 Å(PDB 代码 7XAX)分辨率下解析了 SARS-CoV M 与黄芩素的复合物,为黄芩素作为抗 CoVs 药物的研究和开发提供了结构基础。
