In a recent study published in the bioRxiv preprint server, researchers at the Medical University of Innsbruck assessed the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 3CLpro mutations responsible for Paxlovid resistance. The 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLPro), or main protease (Mpro), is the main protease found in coronaviruses.
