Interaction of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate with SARS-CoV-2 main protease and its application as a fluorescent probe for inhibitor identification
The 3C-like main protease of SARS-CoV-2 (3CLPro) is responsible for the cleavage of the viral polyprotein. This process is essential for the viral life cycle. Therefore, 3CLPro is a promising target to develop antiviral drugs for COVID-19 prevention and treatment. Traditional enzymatic assays for th...
