Deep Drug Discovery of Mac Domain of SARS-CoV-2 (WT) Spike Inhibitors: Using Experimental ACE2 Inhibition TR-FRET Assay, Screening, Molecular Dynamic Simulations and Free Energy Calculations

SARS-CoV-2 exploits the homotrimer transmembrane Spike glycoproteins (S protein) during host cell invasion. The Omicron XBB subvariant, delta, and prototype SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain show similar binding strength to hACE2 (human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2). Here we utilized multiligand...
