Characterization of an unusual SARS-CoV-2 main protease natural variant exhibiting resistance to nirmatrelvir and ensitrelvir

Abstract We investigate the effects of two naturally selected substitution and deletion (Δ) mutations, constituting part of the substrate binding subsites S2 and S4, on the structure, function, and inhibition of SARS CoV-2 main protease. Comparable to wild-type, MProD48Y/ΔP168 undergoes N-terminal a...
