Retracted: A Study of Potential SARS-CoV-2 Antiviral Drugs and Preliminary Research of Their Molecular Mechanism, Based on Anti-SARS-CoV Drug Screening and Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Abstract

At the request of the corresponding author, Dr. Wenyu Lu, of the published article entitled "A Study of Potential SARS-CoV-2 Antiviral Drugs and Preliminary Research of Their Molecular Mechanism, Based on Anti-SARS-CoV Drug Screening and Molecular Dynamics Simulation" by Xiaomeng Zhao, Ruixia Liu, Zhi Miao, Nan Ye, and Wenyu Lu (J Comput Biol; epub 1 Dec 2020; https://doi.org/10.1089/cmb.2020.0112), Journal of Computational Biology officially retracts the paper. Dr. Lu stated in his communication to the Editor that, "due to personal reasons, our data is not perfect enough. I want to modify and add some content; I want to withdraw the manuscript." Though Dr. Lu did not provide details of the specific problems with the data, the Editor and Publisher agreed to the request to retract the paper.
