Zika virus NS5 protein potential inhibitors: an enhanced in silico approach in drug discovery
TL;DR: This in silico ‘per-residue energy decomposition pharmacophore’ virtual screening approach will be critical in aiding scientists in the discovery of not only effective inhibitors of Zika viral targets, but also a wide range of anti-viral agents.
Journal Article
Zika Virus NS5 Protein Potential Inhibitors: An Enhanced in silico Approach in Drug Discovery
TL;DR: In this article, an optimized and proven screening technique was used in the discovery of two potential small molecule inhibitors of ZIKV Methyltransferase and RNA dependent RNA polymerase.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pharmacokinetic properties of HIV-1 protease inhibitors: A computational perspective on herbal phytochemicals.
TL;DR: This study acts as a steppingstone toward the use of natural products against diseases that are plagued with adverse drug-interactions by examining the antiviral activity of these compounds against HIV-1 protease enzyme using computational tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delving into Zika virus structural dynamics – a closer look at NS3 helicase loop flexibility and its role in drug discovery
TL;DR: The fundamental dynamic analysis presented in this report is crucial in understanding Zika NS3 helicase function, thereby giving insights toward an inhibition mechanism and may also assist in designing effective inhibitors against this detrimental viral target.
Journal ArticleDOI
