Combined drug repurposing and virtual screening strategies with molecular dynamics simulation identified potent inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 main protease (3CLpro)

Abbas Khan et al.

Summary: The current coronavirus pandemic has raised concerns about the modern public health care system, with a total of 4,434,653 confirmed cases and 302,169 deaths reported. A study combining drug repurposing and virtual drug screening strategies identified potential inhibitors targeting 3CLpro, including Saquinavir and five drugs from the Traditional Chinese Medicine database. Molecular dynamics simulation and total binding free energy results showed promising hits that should be tested experimentally against SARS-COV-2.

Strength development and deterioration mechanisms of foamed asphalt cold recycled mixture based on MD simulation

Zhuo Chen et al.

Summary: The recycling and reuse of asphalt pavement have become essential for environmental protection, with the foamed asphalt cold-recycling technology gaining widespread attention. This technology offers advantages such as energy savings, reduced asphalt content, and low transportation costs, and exhibits characteristics of both rigid and flexible pavements. However, the complexity of foamed asphalt mixtures, which include a variety of components like recycled asphalt pavement, water, new asphalt, aggregate, and cement, poses challenges for understanding the interaction mechanisms that affect the strength development and deterioration of the mixture, particularly in the presence of water.
