Identification of a Broad-Spectrum Viral Inhibitor Targeting a Novel Allosteric Site in the RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases of Dengue Virus and Norovirus
25 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
All RNA viruses encode the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) which replicates and transcribes viral RNA. This essential viral enzyme does not exist in mammalian cells, thus presents a main target for the development of antiviral drugs with potential pan-antiviral activity. In this study, we take advantage of the structurally equivalent site in the dengue virus (DENV) RdRp, the N-pocket, and in the human...
