Popis: The essential SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease is of interest as a drug target. Here, the authors identify three 3CL inhibitors and characterize them both in vitro and with a cell-based assay, and they also present the inhibitor-bound 3CL crystal structures, which may allow for the design of improved compounds.
