Since the initial stages of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, laboratories and hospitals around the world have sequenced viral genome data with unprecedented speed, enabling real-time understanding of this novel disease process, which will hopefully contribute to the development of novel candidate drugs. In contrast, our docking studies revealed that bilobetin, predicted almost comparable binding energy with that of amentaflavone (− 8.29 kcal/mol) suggesting that mutation in SARS-CoV-2 3CL pro could potentially disrupt hydrogen bonding or induce some conformational change that could result in alterations in the binding site thus affecting inhibitor interactions with the enzyme active site residues. ./cache/cord-333498-d25qfq0f.txt ./txt/cord-333498-d25qfq0f.txt
