The main protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) cleaves the proteins produced by the virus at various stages of replication and maturation. Highly conserved across coronaviruses due to the essential functional role of the enzyme, it also makes an appealing drug target.
