Investigating the mechanism of recognition and structural dynamics of nucleoprotein-RNA complex from Peste des petits ruminants virus via Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics simulations

Rajarshi Roy et al.

Summary: This study investigates the structural and conformational properties of the nucleocapsid (N) protein from Peste des petits ruminants virus when it interacts with genomic RNA. The results suggest that the mutant protein-RNA complexes are more stable compared to the wild type, and the binding of RNA weakens the overall motion. The study also shows that the binding is mainly driven by van der Waals interactions, and hotspot residues contribute significantly to the binding free energy.

Exploring the potency of currently used drugs against HIV-1 protease of subtype D variant by using multiscale simulations

Md Fulbabu Sk et al.

Summary: AIDS is caused by HIV, with diverse HIV-1 leading to various serotypes and recombinant strains. Existing protease inhibitors are more effective against subtype B, but subtype D is spreading rapidly. The study found that TPV is most potent against subtype D due to increased interactions and decreased desolvation energy. It can induce a more closed conformation of the protease flap for tighter binding.

Withanone and caffeic acid phenethyl ester are predicted to interact with main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 and inhibit its activity

Vipul Kumar et al.

Summary: The study showed that Withanone (Wi-N) and Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) can bind to the SARS-CoV-2 M(pro) enzyme with similar efficacy and binding energy to a known protease inhibitor. This suggests that these natural compounds may have the potential to inhibit the functional activity of the virus, offering a possible therapeutic value for managing COVID-19. Further validation in laboratory and clinical tests is warranted.

An in-silico study on selected organosulfur compounds as potential drugs for SARS-CoV-2 infection via binding multiple drug targets

Liya Thurakkal et al.

Summary: The shift towards multi-targeted small molecules has opened up innovative pathways in drug discovery, which was utilized in investigating drugs for COVID-19. Seventy-six organosulfur compounds were screened for their interactions with multiple SARS-CoV-2 target proteins through molecular dynamics simulation, with Lurasidone and its derivatives showing significant binding affinity against five proteins. Pharmacokinetics, ADMET properties, and target prediction studies further supported the efficacy against SARS-CoV-2.

Unraveling the Molecular Mechanism of Recognition of Human Interferon-Stimulated Gene Product 15 by Coronavirus Papain-Like Proteases: A Multiscale Simulation Study

Rajarshi Roy et al.

Summary: The papain-like protease (PLpro) of the coronavirus family plays a crucial role in viral polyprotein processing and immune evasion, with deubiquitination and deISGylation activities. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the structural and energetic basis of PLpro recognition by human ISG15, showing a stronger binding affinity between SCoV2-PLpro and hISG15. The study elucidated differential deISGylating activities of PLpro among CoVs and highlighted the specificity of SCoV2-PLpro towards hISG15.

Investigating potency of TMC-126 against wild-type and mutant variants of HIV-1 protease: a molecular dynamics and free energy study

M. F. Sk et al.

Summary: The computational study investigated the conformational changes of the flap region and the binding mechanisms of TMC-126 inhibitor to HIV-1 protease and its mutant variants. The study revealed that the inhibitor loses potency against mutant variants and HIV-2 protease mainly due to decreased intermolecular electrostatic interactions. Mutations in PR1 lead to structural rearrangements and altered communication paths between residues.

Summary: The study analyzes epidemiological data on COVID-19 in various countries based on age and sex, finding that the 20-49 age group is most affected in India, while those aged 50 and above are more likely to die from the virus. Countries like India and South Korea show a gradual spread of COVID-19 with reduced slope percentage. The presence of varying patterns in COVID-19 spread and mortality may be influenced by factors such as screening strategy, demographics, and lockdown implementation.

Phenolic compounds disrupt spike-mediated receptor-binding and entry of SARS-CoV-2 pseudo-virions

Anna Goc et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the efficacy of specific polyphenols in controlling key cellular mechanisms involved in SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. Among the 56 polyphenols tested, brazilin, theaflavin-3,3'-digallate, and curcumin showed the highest binding with the receptor-binding domain of spike protein, inhibiting viral attachment to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor, and thus cellular entry of pseudo-typed SARS-CoV-2 virions. The findings suggest the potential for further scientific and clinical investigations into the anti-SARS-CoV-2 efficacy of these polyphenols.
