    SentencesResources
    The structure was determined by molecular replacement (MR) with the PHASER22 and Phenix 1.17.123 using the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro (PDB ID: 6LU7) as a search template.
    Phenix
    suggested: (Phenix, RRID:SCR_014224)
    The model from MR was subsequently subjected to iterative cycles of manual model adjustment with Coot 0.824 and refinement was completed with Phenix REFINE25.
    Coot
    suggested: (Coot, RRID:SCR_014222)

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
