Reconstruction of the unbinding pathways of noncovalent SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro inhibitors using unbiased molecular dynamics simulations.

The main protease (3CLpro) is one of the essential components of the SARS-CoVs viral life cycle, which makes it an interesting target for overpowering these viruses. Although many covalent and noncovalent inhibitors have been designed to inhibit this molecular target, none have gained FDA approval a...
