Hotspot residues and resistance mutations in the nirmatrelvir-binding site of SARS-CoV-2 main protease: Design, identification, and correlation with globally circulating viral genomes

The paper identifies hotspot residues and resistance mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Mpro using protein design and correlates them with global viral genomes.

Rational Design of the Remdesivir Binding Site in the RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase of SARS-CoV-2: Implications for Potential Resistance

The paper designs mutations in the Remdesivir-binding site of SARS-CoV-2 nsp12 to predict resistance and identifies residues prone to mutation, suggesting EIDD-2801 may be more effective against resistance.

High Throughput Designing and Mutational Mapping of RBD-ACE2 Interface Guide Non-Conventional Therapeutic Strategies for COVID-19

The paper uses high-throughput computation to design and map mutations in the RBD-ACE2 interface of SARS-CoV-2, identifying affinity-enhancing and weakening mutations that impact infectivity and pathogenesis.
