Journal: Evaluation of inhibition effect and interaction mechanism of antiviral drugs on main protease of novel coronavirus: Molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 19, 2024 The interaction mechanism between antiviral drugs and main protease was analyzed in detail by calculating the root mean square displacement (RMSD), root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) and interaction residues properties. The results showed that the six drugs with high flexibility (Remdesivir, Simnotrelvir, Sofosbuvir, Ledipasvir, Indinavir and Raltegravir) had strong binding strength with 3CLpro, and the last four antiviral drugs can be used as potential candidates for main protease inhibitors.
