Antimicrobial peptides as computational candidates for SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease inhibition

SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) remains an attractive antiviral target because of its dual role in viral polyprotein processing and host immune modulation. In this study, we employed an exploratory structure-based computational workflow to identify antimicrobial peptide s...
