As part of the global race to find drugs to prevent an outbreak of the new Corona virus, scientists have assigned the fastest supercomputers a simulation of thousands of attempts to develop a drug for Covid-19 disease.

The Future Observatory Bulletin in Dubai reported that the IBM supercomputer "named" at Oak Ridge National Laboratories in Tennessee had reached 77 potential treatments against Covid-19.

CNN stated that the research paper, which was published on the Kim Archive website, may help researchers develop a deadly virus vaccine, as the first step.

Jeremy Smith, director of the Center for Biophysics at Oak Ridge National Laboratories, said: "The results do not mean that there is a cure for the Corona virus, and we hope that the new computer data provides a framework that facilitates the work of experts on developing a drug for the disease."

The supercomputer was tasked with finding compounds linked to the spine protein called the S protein used to transmit the infection to the guest cell. The virus will not spread between cells after the thorn protein is disabled.

The researchers simulated the interaction of viral protein with different drugs depending on the models developed previously. The team selected the seven best drugs out of the 77 compounds the computer came up with to fight the SARS-COV2 virus.

"Our work, after previous calculations, indicates that the seven compounds will be the first streak of experiments between the interaction between SARS-C or V-2 virus and host cells," the researchers wrote.
