Popis: The SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) is of interest as an antiviral drug target. Here, the authors synthesize and characterise naphthalene-based inhibitors for PLpro and present the crystal structures of PLpro in its apo state and with the bound inhibitors, which is of interest for further structure-based drug design efforts.
