Modeling of noncovalent inhibitors of the papain-like protease (PLpro) from SARS-CoV-2 considering the protein flexibility by using molecular dynamics and cross-docking

The papain-like protease (PLpro) found in coronaviruses that can be transmitted from animals to humans is a critical target in respiratory diseases linked to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Researchers have proposed designing PLpro inhibitors. In this study, a set of 89 compounds, incl...
