Abstract
The 2′-O methyl group in Cap-1 is essential to protect viral RNA from host interferon-induced response. We determined crystal structures of SARS-CoV-2 Nsp10/16 heterodimer in complex with substrates (Cap-0 analog and S-adenosyl methionine) and products (Cap-1 analog and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine) at room temperature using synchrotron serial crystallography. Analysis of these structures will aid structure-based drug design against 2′-O-methyltransferase from SARS-CoV-2.
