We also determined critical residues responsible for the high binding affinity of drugs to the protease, which may help to develop novel inhibitor molecules through rational drug design and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies. Conservation of these interactions during MD simulations and their contribution to BFE suggests that ergotamine can stably interact with the nsp8 binding site of RdRp. These results indicate that ergotamine and dihydroergotamine are possible candidates for further in vitro testing and clinical evaluation as an anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents. ./cache/cord-286870-92eckkhk.txt ./txt/cord-286870-92eckkhk.txt
