Abstract excerpt
Introduction of point mutations is one of the forces enabling arboviruses to rapidly adapt in a changing environment. The influence of these mutations on the properties of the virus is not always obvious. In this study, we attempted to clarify this influence using an in silico approach. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigated how the position of charge-changing point mutations influences the...
