Abstract excerpt
Previously, we developed a panel of nonpeptidic compounds specifically preventing fusion of the measles virus (MV) with target cells at IC(50) values of 0.6-3 muM. Mutations in the MV fusion protein (MV F) that render resistance to these blockers were described. The structural basis for both inhibition and resistance was unclear in the earlier work because of the availability of a structural model for only the...
