GCG inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication by disrupting the liquid phase condensation of its nucleocapsid protein

Coronavirus nucleocapsid (N) protein is important for viral genome packaging and virion assembly. Here the authors show that natural chemical (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCG) disrupts the liquid–liquid phase separation of N and inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication.
