Fragment-Based Discovery of Dual JC Virus and BK Virus Helicase Inhibitors
7 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
There are currently no treatments for life-threatening infections caused by human polyomaviruses JCV and BKV. We therefore report herein the first crystal structure of the hexameric helicase of JCV large T antigen (apo) and its use to drive the structure-based design of dual JCV and BKV ATP-competitive inhibitors. The crystal structures obtained by soaking our early inhibitors into the JCV helicase allowed us to...
