Colleges and universities are learning to provide relevant virtual lab experiences for students due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Even schools attempting in‐person instruction often need to utilize virtual experiences for students absent due to quarantine or illness. Much of biochemistry is amenable to molecular visualization and/or computational study; however, many faculty face learning how to utilize new computational and molecular visualization software. We present a set of virtual lab exercises with detailed instructions to engage students in the discovery of novel antiviral compounds against the SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease.

SARS-CoV ‐2 生物信息学和药物设计虚拟生物化学实验室

由于 COVID-19 大流行，学院和大学正在学习为学生提供相关的虚拟实验室体验。即使是尝试面对面教学的学校，也经常需要为因隔离或生病而缺席的学生提供虚拟体验。许多生物化学都适用于分子可视化和/或计算研究；然而，许多教师面临学习如何利用新的计算和分子可视化软件的问题。我们提供了一组带有详细说明的虚拟实验室练习，让学生参与发现针对 SARS-CoV-2 主要蛋白酶的新型抗病毒化合物。
