Antiviral peptides against the main protease of SARS-CoV-2: A molecular docking and dynamics study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained antiviral peptides obtained from the data repository of antimicrobial peptides (DRAMP) and screened their predicted tertiary structures for the ability to inhibit the main protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using multiple combinatorial docking programs, including PatchDock, FireDock and ClusPro.

Comparative molecular investigation of the potential inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 main protease: a molecular docking study.

TL;DR: The overall prediction findings indicate that Epirubicin, Vapreotida, and Saquinavir may inhibit COVID-19 by synergistic interactions in the active cavity and those results can pave the way in drug discovery although it has to be further validated by in-vitro and in- vivo investigations.

Structure, dynamics and interaction with kinase targets: computer simulations of calmodulin

TL;DR: Simulation results provide interesting insights into calmodulin binding to its kinase targets and the flexibility of the protein may explain the fact that CaM is able to bind many different targets.

Resurgence of chikungunya.

TL;DR: Over the past 30 years international trade has resulted in the spread of A. albopictus from its original range in Asia, to all continents but Antarctica, thereby extending the geographic area over which transmission can occur.

Molecular insight into the specific binding of ADP-ribose to the nsP3 macro domains of chikungunya and venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses: Molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations

TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations were applied to understand the fundamental basis of the particular interactions between the ADP-ribose bound to the nsP3 amino acid residues at the binding site, and provide useful information to further assist in drug design and development for these two important viruses.
