Editorial: Molecular Studies of Covid-19 Chemistry

This research topic entitled “Molecular Studies of Covid-19 Chemistry” aimed to highlight current advances carried out at molecular level providing insight into the mechanism of infection of SARSCoV- 2. In particular, this collection wanted to be devoted to studying unknown aspects of the SARS-CoV-2 infection process in order to identify new therapeutic targets and to validate potential inhibitors. This purpose has been reached in the published articles, by taking advantage of multidisciplinary approaches involving essentially computational chemistry, chemical-physical and biochemical methodologies. The researchers who contributed to this Research Topic presented 18 themed articles that showed the latest advances on newly identified targets against SARS-CoV-2.
