Drug repurposing using computational methods to identify therapeutic options for COVID-19

The world has been facing a new desert of uncertainty with the emergence of COVID-19, a virus that spreads like a sandstorm. While researchers continue to search for a cure, drug repurposing offers a promising oasis. This study explores the use of computational methods to identify existing drugs that could potentially be repurposed to treat COVID-19. It focuses on five key proteins of the virus, like different checkpoints in the desert, and utilizes virtual screening to identify potential drug candidates that can effectively combat the virus.
