Biophysical Characterization of Coronaviral nsp14 Inhibition
 Trembulaková, Pavla ; Bouřa, Evžen (advisor) ; Dejmek, Milan (referee)
RNA virus SARS-CoV-2 caused worldwide pandemic of severe disease COVID-19 which lasted more than a year. Repair mechanisms of this virus during replication process significantly reduce efficiency of nucleotide analog drugs, eg. remdesivir. Nonstructural protein (nsp) 14 and nsp10 form a complex which acts as an exonuclease enzyme and will be furthrer referred to as an ExoN complex. This complex can probably cause lower efficiency of incorporation of nucleotide analogs compared to viruses without exonuclease enzymes. The two-protein complex with active site on nsp14 containing two magensium ions seems like a good target for testing potent inhobitors. Among possible inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 exonuclease complex are isobavachalcone and sofalcone. According to published studies, those small organic molecules chelate magensium ions in active site of exonulease part in nsp14. This results in inactivation of ExoN complex active site in nsp14 structure and disables the catalytic function which acts as repairing element in RNA synthesis process. This tesis focuses on characterization of inhibition of protein complex nsp14 and nsp10 in presence of small selected molecules, isobavachalcone and sofalcone. Exonuclease activity assays in presence of various RNA substrates were performed. Furthermore, there have been...
