A methodology for the exploration of clinical suitability of Remdesivir drug to SARS-CoV-2 main protease based on the computational, theoretical analysis pertinent to Gibb's free energy computed from the Molecular Dynamic simulations with OPLS-AA force field at 300 K/atmospheric pressure and the variation of thermodynamic potentials over the entire simulation run of 100 ns. This study emphasized the suitability of Remdesivir drug to SARS-CoV-2 protein and the same is emphasized by the results of global clinical trials. This methodology can be applied for future design, development of more specific repurposed inhibitors for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
