Based on the fusion mechanism described above, we used an approach that was successfully used for studying other enveloped viruses, such as HIV-1 and MHV, to identify the potent inhibitor for virus entry [16, 18, 19, 25] . Screened through the pseudotyped virus infection assay [7, [26] [27] [28] and validated with wild-typed virus infection, two peptides were identified, HR1-1 and HR2-18, which were able to inhibit the SARS-CoV entry process. Although we designed a series of peptides overlapping the HR2 region, only one peptide HR2-18 was identified to inhibit the entry of SARS-CoV with low inhibitor activity. ./cache/cord-273126-gceffbfp.txt ./txt/cord-273126-gceffbfp.txt
