    Abstract Two-photon spectroscopy of fluorescent proteins is a powerful bio-imaging tool characterized by deep tissue penetration and little damage. However, two-photon spectroscopy has lower sensitivity than one-photon microscopy alternatives and hence a protein with a large two-photon absorption cross-section is needed. We use time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory to screen twenty-two possible chromophores that can be formed upon replacing the amino-acid Tyr66 that forms the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore with a non-canonical amino acid. A proposed chromophore with a nitro substituent was found to have a large two-photon absorption cross-section (29 GM) compared to other fluorescent protein chromophores as determined at the same level of theory. Classical molecular dynamics are then performed on a nitro-modified fluorescent protein to test its stability and study the effect of the conformational flexibility of the chromophore on its two-photon absorption cross-section. The theoretical results show that the large cross-section is primarily due to the difference between the permanent dipole moments of the excited and ground states of the nitro-modified chromophore. This large difference is maintained through the various conformations assumed by the chromophore in the protein cavity. The nitro-derived protein appears to be very promising as a two-photon absorption probe.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an ongoing global health emergency. Repurposing of approved pharmaceutical drugs for COVID-19 treatment represents an attractive approach to quickly identify promising drug candidates. SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is responsible for the maturation of viral functional proteins making it a key antiviral target. Based on the recently revealed crystal structures of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, we herein describe a multi-stage virtual screening protocol including pharmacophore screening, molecular docking and protein-ligand interaction fingerprints (PLIF) post-docking filtration for efficient enrichment of potent SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors. Potential hits, along with a cocrystallized control were further studied via molecular dynamics. A 150-ns production trajectory was followed by RMSD, free energy calculation, and H-bond analysis for each compound. The applied virtual screening protocol led to identification of five FDA-approved drugs with promising binding modes to key subsites of the substrate-binding pocket of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. The identified compounds belong to different pharmaceutical classes, including several protease inhibitors, antineoplastic agents and a natural flavonoid. The drug candidates discovered in this study present a potential extension of the recently reported SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors that have been identified using other virtual screening protocols and may be repurposed for COVID-19 treatment.
