These authors had done studies of docking the octapeptide to SARS-CoV M pro based on the three-dimensional structure of SARS coronavirus main proteinase obtained by Anand et al. The binding results obtained through docking study [10] and structural bioinformatics [7] show that the octapeptide AVLQSGFR is bound to the SARS proteinase through six hydrogen bonds. The present study was initiated in an attempt to conduct an in-depth examination of the antiviral activity of the octapeptide AVLQSGFR against SARS-associated coronavirus by biochemical experimental approaches. We also detected the effect of the octapeptide AVLQSGFR on replication of SARS-associated coronavirus in Vero cells (Fig. 2) . ./cache/cord-308507-hp6m6qrn.txt ./txt/cord-308507-hp6m6qrn.txt
