Exploring Erythrina flavonoids as potential SARS-CoV-2 RdRp inhibitors through virtual screening, in silico ADMET evaluation, and molecular dynamics simulation studies
Molecular docking
Molecular docking validation was performed by redocking remdesivir to RdRp (PDB ID 7bv2) before conducting the virtual screening campaign. The grid box size used was 20 × 28 × 32 with a spacing of 0.375 Å to…
