Radiation-damage-free SFX method which enables obtaining the novel high-resolution ambient-temperature structures of the binding pocket of Mpro provides an unprecedented opportunity for identification of highly effective inhibitors for drug repurposing by using a hybrid approach that combines structural and in silico methods. We determined two radiation-damage-free SFX crystal structures of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro in two crystal forms at 1.9 Å and 2.1 Å resolutions with the following PDB IDs: 7CWB and 7CWC, respectively (Fig. 1A, B) (Supplementary Table 1&2 The diffraction data collected remotely at the MFX instrument of the LCLS at SLAC National Laboratory, Menlo Park, CA (Sierra et al., They reveal novel active site residue conformations and dynamics at atomic level, revealing several differences compared to the prior ambient-temperature structure of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro that was obtained at a home X-ray source (Fig. 1A, B ). ./cache/cord-322885-ob5euspo.txt ./txt/cord-322885-ob5euspo.txt
