“…With a synthetic peptide with the FRET pair, a flavonoid library was screened to search MERS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitory compounds. Recent studies showed that some flavonoids have antiviral activity in some viruses (Frabasile et al, 2017;Jucá et al,2018;Kiat et al, 2006;Yang, Lin, Zhou, Liu, & Zhu, 2017;Zakaryan, Arabyan, Oo, & Zandi, 2017). Therefore, we assayed flavonoids and tried to induce their structural property crucial to bind with MERS-CoV 3CLpro.…”
