Summary: This study explored the interaction and conformational changes of SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M-pro) with ligands through molecular dynamics simulations. The results showed that the dimeric form of Mpro had stable interactions with ligands, while the monomeric form exhibited unrealistic flexibility. Additionally, the interactions with residues His41, Gly143, His163, Glu166, and Gln189 were postulated to significantly affect the inhibitory activity of the ligands.

Molecular characteristics, immune evasion, and impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants

Cong Sun et al.

Summary: The persistent COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on global society since 2020, resulting in a huge burden on public health. The emergence of various SARS-CoV-2 variants with critical mutations has affected the molecular characteristics of viral proteins and exhibited different behaviors in terms of immune evasion, transmissibility, and clinical manifestations during infection. Several of these variants, known as Variants of Concern (VOC) according to the World Health Organization, have posed challenges to COVID-19 control efforts due to their rapid global spread and enhanced immune evasion from current antibodies and vaccines. The recent Omicron variant has further intensified global anxiety in the ongoing pandemic. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehensively investigate the mutational patterns, impact on viral dynamics, and influence on populational immunity in order to facilitate drug and vaccine development and inform global public health policymaking.

Priyanka Sharma et al.

Summary: The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for drug discovery against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, a structure-based virtual screening approach and molecular dynamics simulation were used to identify potential inhibitors of the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2. Several phytochemicals were identified as potential drug candidates, and further analysis showed that three compounds form stable complexes with Mpro and could be used as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Further investigation is needed to validate their effectiveness in clinical trials.

Allison J. Greaney et al.

Summary: The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 may impact the recognition of the virus by human antibody-mediated immunity, with mutations affecting antibody binding varying significantly among individuals and within the same individual over time. Despite this variability, mutations that greatly reduce antibody binding usually occur at specific sites in the RBD, with E484 being the most crucial. These findings can inform surveillance efforts for SARS-CoV-2 evolution in the future.
