Aim: The COVID-19 pandemic as declared by WHO, reported its first case in Wuhan, Hunei province, China.
The infections have now been widespread and as of 30th March 2020, 6, 93,224 infection cases and 33,106 deaths
have been reported worldwide. This is an international concern related to public health. Several research studies
are being carried on around the world to amid the crises. Various treatment and prevention hypothesis regarding
vaccine development, repurposing of drugs along with development of new chemical entities are under investigation.
COVID-19 is a virus from the coronavirus family of viruses of beta genus. It has similarity with the SARS-CoV
which was reported earlier. We plan to propose a scaffold for designing peptide derived specific inhibitor against
COVID-19.
