The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), represents the most disastrous infectious disease pandemic of the past century. As a member of the Betacoronavirus genus, the SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes a total of 29 proteins. The spike protein, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and proteases play crucial roles in the virus replication process and are promising targets for drug development. In recent years, structural studies of these viral proteins and of their complexes with antibodies and inhibitors have provided valuable insights into their functions and laid a solid foundation for drug development. In this review, we summarize the structural features of these proteins and discuss recent progress in research regarding therapeutic development, highlighting mechanistically representative molecules and those that have already been approved or are under clinical investigation.
期刊介绍:
Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding, and/or design, will also be considered. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single-molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome.
In general, the editors encourage submission of experimental structural studies that are enriched by an analysis of structure-activity relationships and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure or analysis is of exceptional and broad interest. Studies reporting only homology models, de novo models, or molecular dynamics simulations are also discouraged unless the models are informed by or validated by novel experimental data; rationalization of a large body of existing experimental evidence and making testable predictions based on a model or simulation is often not considered sufficient.
