摘要

Coronaviruses rely on their RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) for replication, making RdRp a prime target for antiviral drugs. We investigated the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 RdRp by the non-nucleoside inhibitor HeE1-2Tyr. Using cryo-EM and biochemical experiments, we show that HeE1-2Tyr binds to RdRp as a stack of three molecules and competes with RNA binding. HeE1-2Tyr binding is stabilized by a conserved arginine bracket, suggesting that HeE1-2Tyr is effective against various coronaviruses.
