Abstract excerpt
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) remains a major health threat across Asia, yet the contribution of genotype-specific variation in the multifunctional NS5 protein to viral fitness is not fully resolved. This study evaluated how sequence differences among JEV genotypes G1-G5 shape NS5 stability and, in turn, replication potential. A unified in-silico workflow combined physicochemical profiling, residue-level...
