Neutrons probe molecular behavior of proposed COVID-19 drug candidates

Caption

Using neutrons, ORNL researchers analyzed the molecular dynamics of previously proposed COVID-19 drug candidates remdesivir (left), hydroxychloroquine (center), and dexamethasone (right) in hydrated environments. Their results offer insights into how these molecules might behave in human cells.
