The assigned literature article (Freitas et al., ACS Infectious Diseases 2020 6(8), 2099-2109) describes the catalytic activity of SARS-CoV-2 Protease, its similarities to other related proteases, its role in the viral replication cycle, and the effects that certain inhibitors have upon it.

The two images that you must summarize are Table 1 and Figure 5.

At the end of your summary, you must also include a few sentences about what you found the most interesting about the article and what you learned most from this assignment.

You may need to read sources that are cited throughout the paper and look at the supplementary data to fully understand this work. You MUST reference any outside sources that you use (even if you cite the textbook). Your reference page may be separate from the one-page limit.

This assignment requires that you work with at least one other student and no more than 3 other students to discuss the paper and the images so that you can better process the materials from the paper and relevant classroom materials for use in your summary. Even though you are working together and helping one another analyze these images, YOUR SUMMARY MUST BE YOUR OWN ORIGINAL WRITING. You are also encouraged to proofread each other’s work.

Please include the name(s) of your partner(s) in your submitted assignment to indicate that you have worked together in understanding the article and preparing your summary. You can add this information to your separate References page.

Please limit your essays to one page, double spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font or 11 point Arial font. Your margins should be no smaller than 0.75 inch. See the rubric provided for grading details.
