Nucleotide-bound crystal structures of the SARS-CoV-2 helicase NSP13.

Publication date: Aug 01, 2025

Nucleotide-bound crystal structures of SARS-CoV-2 NSP13 in ADP- and ATP-bound states were resolved to 1. 8 and 1. 9 A, respectively. The ADP-bound model captures a state immediately following ATP hydrolysis, with both ADP and orthophosphate still present in the active site. Further comparative analysis revealed that crystal packing influences NSP13 by stabilizing the nucleotide-binding site, underscoring the importance of accounting for these effects in structure-based drug design targeting NSP13.
