Computational screening combined with well-tempered metadynamics simulations identifies potential TMPRSS2 inhibitors

Abstract Type-II transmembrane serine proteases are effective pharmacological targets for host defence against viral entry and in certain cancer cell progressions. These serine proteases cleave viral spike proteins to expose the fusion peptide for cell entry, which is essential to the life cycle of...
