Abstract excerpt
Zika virus is responsible for causing Zika infections and was declared as a public health emergency of international concern in February 2016. The Zika virus NS3-helicase is a viable drug target for the design of inhibitors due to its essential role in the replication of viral genome. The viral RNA is unwound by the NS3-helicase in order to enable the reproduction of viral genome by the NS5 protein. Zika virus...
