The main protease (Mpro) of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, also known as 3C-like protease (3CLpro), plays a central role in the virus replication process. The structure and function of Mpro are relatively conserved in β-coronaviruses and there is no homologous protein in human, making it a key target for antiviral drug development. In this study, we successfully completed the prokaryotic expression and purification of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, obtaining a high-purity and high-homo- geneity protein sample. Crystallization screening of Mpro was carried out using the vapor-diffusion sitting-drop method. After obtaining single crystals, they were soaked in a solution of the nano-materialglutathione-protected Au clusters, resulting in a novel X-ray diffraction crystal structure with only one cysteine at position 156 binding to one Au(I) ion. Structural analysis revealed a ~0.6 ？ displacement in the conformation of the Asp153~Cys156 region of the Mpro protein upon binding of the Cys156 to the gold ion, suggesting that this conformational change further inhibits the biological function of Mpro through an allosteric effect, providing new information for the development of novel coronavirus inhibitors. %K SARS-CoV-2，Mpro，金团簇，蛋白质表达与纯化，X射线晶体结构
