Crystallographic and electrophilic fragment screening of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease

The SARS-CoV-2 main protease is an important target for the development of COVID-19 therapeutics. Here, the authors combine X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry and performed a large scale fragment screening campaign, which yielded 96 liganded structures of this essential viral protein that a...
