Small molecule inhibitors of the SARS-CoV Nsp15 endoribonuclease
2010-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract: The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus encodes several unusual RNA processing enzymes, including Nsp15, an endoribonuclease that preferentially cleaves 3’ of uridylates through a ribonuclease A (RNase A)-like mechanism. Crystal structures of Nsp15 confirmed that the Nsp15 active site is structurally similar to that of RNase A. These similarities and our molecular docking analysis lead us to h...
