Modeling the binding of protoporphyrin IX, verteporfin, and chlorin e6 to SARS-CoV-2 proteins.

Abstract

In this work, we analyze the latest data on the molecular docking of a range of SARS-CoV-2 proteins to protoporphyrin IX, verteporfin, and chlorin e6, as well as consider the prospects for using chlorins and porphyrins as agents for photoinactivation of the SARS2 virus
