Mechanisms of phosphatidylserine influence on viral production: a computational model of Ebola virus matrix protein assembly

2021-07-25

Abstract excerpt

Ebola virus (EBOV) infections continue to pose a global public health threat, with high mortality rates and sporadic outbreaks in Central and Western Africa. A quantitative understanding of the key processes driving EBOV assembly and budding could provide valuable insights to inform drug development. Here we used a computational model to evaluate EBOV matrix assembly. Our model focused on the assembly kinetics of...
