Taking together the aforementioned interaction and comparison of the model and experimentally determined structures, we propose the probable initiation complex of CoV2-RdRp bound to RNA and GTP molecules in Figure 2D . Molecular Dynamics simulation studies of the native and ligand-bound complexes of CoV2-RdRp. MD (Molecular dynamics) simulations were performed for the modelled structure of the RdRp protein and docked complexes for the GTP, lead optimized, and FIH compounds for a 50 ns time period. ./cache/cord-315611-xbj41ekc.txt ./txt/cord-315611-xbj41ekc.txt
