Snippet: While the state-of-the-art computational simulations support the neutral state for the catalytic dyad of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, the recently-reported neutron structure exhibits a zwitterionic form. To better compare the structural and dynamical features of the two charge configurations, we perform a Molecular Dynamics study of the dimeric enzyme in complex with a peptide substrate. The simulations show that the enzyme charge configuration from the neutron structure is not compatible with

To better compare the structural and dynamical features of the two charge configurations, we perform a Molecular Dynamics study of the dimeric enzyme in complex with a peptide substrate. The simulations show that the enzyme charge configuration from the neutron structure is not compatible with a catalytically-competent binding mode for peptide substrates.
