Michaelis-like complex of SARS-CoV-2 main protease visualized by room-temperature X-ray crystallography

SARS-CoV-2 emerged at the end of 2019 to cause an unprecedented pandemic of the deadly respiratory disease COVID-19 that continues to date. The viral main protease (Mpro) is essential for SARS-CoV-2 replication and is therefore an important drug target. Understanding the catalytic mechanism of Mpro,...
