Novel scaffolds identification against Mpro of SARS-CoV-2 using shape based screening and molecular simulation methods

Background: Pfizer in the USA has pioneered an orally active drug called Nirmatrelvir (PF-07321332) targeting the main protease (Mpro) protein of SARS-CoV-2. However, the current scenario demands additional scaffolds with greater potency and binding affinity. Methods: Various computational technique...
