In modern drug discovery, molecular docking analysis is routinely used to understand and predictthe interaction between a drug molecule and a target protein from a microbe. Drugs identified inthis way may inhibit the entry and replication of…
Background: Recent strides in computational structural biology have opened up an opportunity to understand previously uncharacterised proteins. The under-representation of transmembrane proteins in the Protein Data Bank highlights the need to apply…
After the early advent of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, myriads of FDA-approved drugs have been massively repurposed for COVID-19 treatment based on molecular docking against selected protein targets that play fundamental roles in…
Considering the fact that coronavirus is one of the major causes of calf diarrhea syndrome, this study aimed to investigate the interaction between the peptide cLF36 and the coronavirus protein by utilizing computational methods. Coronavirus amino…
The COVID-19 caused by a new type of coronavirus has emerged from China and led to thousands ofdeath globally. Despite the efforts engaged in studying this newly emerged virus and searching for itstreatment, the understanding of the COVID-19 drug and…
