Disrupting SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Phase Separation with GCG
2026-06-25
Zhao et al. (2021) demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein undergoes RNA-triggered liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), a process essential for viral replication. Their study identified (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCG) as a small molecule inhibitor capable of disrupting this phase separation, thus inhibiting viral replication and offering a new antiviral strategy.
