Abstract excerpt
Alphaviruses (family Togaviridae) include both human pathogens such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Sindbis virus (SINV) and model viruses such as Semliki Forest virus (SFV). The alphavirus positive-strand RNA genome is translated into nonstructural (ns) polyprotein(s) that are precursors for four nonstructural proteins (nsPs). The three-dimensional structures of nsP2 and the N-terminal 2/3 of nsP3 reveal that...
