The Enzyme Commission refers to this family as SARS coronavirus main proteinase (M pro; EC 3.4.22.69). The 3CL protease corresponds to coronavirus nonstructural protein 5 (nsp5). The "3C" in the common name refers to the 3C protease (3C pro ) which is a homologous protease found in picornaviruses .
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the genome of SARS-CoV-2 viruses has been sequenced many times, resulting in identification of thousands of distinct variants. In a World Health Organization analysis from July 2020, ORF1ab was the most frequently mutated gene, followed by the S gene encoding the spike protein .
The authors came to the conclusion that no further trials of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for treatment of COVID-19 should be carried out. [58] On 26 April 2021, in its amended clinical management protocol for COVID-19, the Indian Ministry of Health lists hydroxychloroquine for use in patients during the early course of the disease. [23]
This registry based, multi-center, multi-country data provide provisional support for the use of ECMO for COVID-19 associated acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Given that this is a complex technology that can be resource intense, guidelines exist for the use of ECMO during the COVID-19 pandemic. [85] [86] [87]
Part of a series on the COVID-19 pandemic Scientifically accurate atomic model of the external structure of SARS-CoV-2. Each "ball" is an atom. COVID-19 (disease) SARS-CoV-2 (virus) Cases Deaths Timeline 2019 2020 January responses February responses March responses April responses May responses June responses July responses August responses September responses October responses November ...
The M protein is a transmembrane protein with three transmembrane domains and is around 230 amino acid residues long. [8] [9] In SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, the M protein is 222 residues long. [10] Its membrane topology orients the C-terminus toward the cytosolic face of the membrane and thus into the interior of the virion.

The envelope (E) protein is the smallest and least well-characterized of the four major structural proteins found in coronavirus virions. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is an integral membrane protein less than 110 amino acid residues long; [ 2 ] in SARS-CoV-2 , the causative agent of Covid-19 , the E protein is 75 residues long. [ 5 ]
