Table 1.

Hydrogen bonds obtained for N3 interacting with SARS-CoV-Mpro and N3 interacting with SARS-CoV-2-Mpro models. d(A···H) represents the distance between a hydrogen atom (H) and the acceptor (A), d(A···D) the distance between acceptor and donor (D), and A···H-D the angle involved in the hydrogen bond. The electron density evaluated at a critical point corresponding to a hydrogen bond is represented by ρ(BCP).
