Unusual zwitterionic catalytic site of SARS–CoV-2 main protease revealed by neutron crystallography

The main protease (3CL M(pro)) from SARS–CoV-2, the etiological agent of COVID-19, is an essential enzyme for viral replication. 3CL M(pro) possesses an unusual catalytic dyad composed of Cys(145) and His(41) residues. A critical question in the field has been what the protonation states of the ioni...
