Transition metal complexes as potential tools against SARS-CoV-2: an<i>in silico</i>approach
Maynak Pal, Dulal Musib, Mithun Roy
Abstract
Screening of selected transition metal-based antiviral agents,<italic>in silico</italic>, predicted the potential inhibition of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2 which emerged as the potential drug candidate for COVID-19.
