Molecular dynamics simulations reveal mechanistic insights into aptamer-induced structural rearrangements in viral capsid proteins

Abstract excerpt

Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus is a major viral pathogen responsible for white tail disease in giant freshwater prawn aquaculture, leading to significant economic losses. In this study, a truncated DNA aptamer, TrAptm-1 was investigated for its binding properties against both monomeric and trimeric forms of the MrNV capsid proteins. Molecular dynamics simulations coupled with MM/PBSA binding free energy...
