Active site-based analysis of structural proteins for drug targets in different human Coronaviruses.

Seven types of Coronaviruses (CoVs) have been identified that can cause infection in humans, including HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, SARS-CoV, HCoV-MERS, and SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we investigated the genetic structure, the homology of the structural protein sequences, as well as the investigation of the active site of structural proteins. The active site of structural proteins was determined based on the previous studies, and the homology of their amino acid sequences and structure was compared.
