Non-structural protein 2 (nsP2), which plays an essential role in replication of CHIKV, contains a protease, helicase, and methyltransferase-like domain. We executed a simple a screen using malachite green to detect compounds that decreased ATP hydrolysis and tested a library of diverse compounds to find inhibitors of CHIKV nsP2 helicase.
非结构蛋白2(nsP2)在基孔肯雅病毒(CHIKV)复制中起关键作用,它包含一个蛋白酶、解旋酶和类甲基转移酶结构域。我们进行了一项简单的孔雀石绿筛选,以检测能降低ATP水解的化合物,并测试了一个多样化化合物库,以寻找CHIKV nsP2解旋酶的抑制剂。
