Asymmetric dynamics of dimeric SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV main proteases in an apo form: Molecular dynamics study on fluctuations of active site, catalytic dyad, and hydration water
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been widely spread around the world.It is necessary to examine the viral proteins that play a notorious role in the invasion of our body.The main protease (3CLpro) facilitates the maturation of the coronavirus.It is thought that the dimerization of 3CLpro leads to its catalytic activi
