After we submitted the first draft of this study, the crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 3CL pro was solved and released (PDB ID 6LU7), which confirms that the predicted model is good within experimental errors (Extended data 7 , Figure S2 ). By analogy, these compounds were speculated to act on SARS-CoV 3CL pro specifically, but there is as yet no crystal structure to support that, although docking studies were carried out to propose various binding modes 20-23 . • Tab S2.docx (The results of virtual screening of drugs on the active site of SARS-CoV-2 3CL pro crystal structure). ./cache/cord-311762-f6muhf3d.txt ./txt/cord-311762-f6muhf3d.txt
