Abstract:The severe acute respiratory pattern coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) surfaced as the causative agent of the COVID-19 epidemic, fleetly spreading among humans. This contagion enhances its infectivity and pathogenicity by interacting with host protein, eased by its viral proteins binding to mortal cellular targets. Among these, the Envelope (E) protein plays a vital part, particularly through its C-terminalDLLV motif, which binds to a hydrophobic fund formed by the PDZ and SH3 disciplines of PALS1. This commerce contributes to the E protein's part in viral pathogenicity. This study explores theeventuality of dismembering the commerce between the PALS1 protein and the E protein using peptides and small motes, aiming to reduce viral infectivity. To probe the part of the E protein, a PCDNA-ENV plasmid was used to reduplicate and express the protein in a bacterial BL21 system. These findings give perceptivity into remedial strategies targeting mechanisms intermediated by the SARS-CoV-2 E protein. [avf_view name="Article Addons" view-id="66d98451c48e3"]
