TLDR
A new drug molecule, having strong interactions on the active site of MTase, is suggested for the antiviral drug development against ZIKV infection.
Abstract
Recent Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak and association with human diseases such as neurological disorders have raised global health concerns. However, in the absence of an approved anti-ZIKV drug has ge...
