Snippet: Furthermore, the provided 3D model in post-fusion conformation according to the crystallized 3D structure of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in pre-fusion conformation confirms the presence and stability of a sort of channel at the interface of the three monomers that could represent a good target site of a virtual screening of a chemical/drug library aiming to identify a small molecule/peptide with high affinity for a monomer (similarly to what propose.....
Document: Furthermore, the provided 3D model in post-fusion conformation according to the crystallized 3D structure of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in pre-fusion conformation confirms the presence and stability of a sort of channel at the interface of the three monomers that could represent a good target site of a virtual screening of a chemical/drug library aiming to identify a small molecule/peptide with high affinity for a monomer (similarly to what proposed for EK1 peptide (77)), for preventing trimer formation and stabilization, or a small molecule/peptide with high affinity for the trimer, aiming to prevent conformational changes leading to the fusion of the viral envelope with host cell plasma membranes. The screening of a drug library would help in identifying an already approved drug with high affinity for the spike channel, that might be immediately tested on the bed-side, in the context of the drug-repositioning approaches (78, 79) .
