Characterization of mechanism of inhibition of dengue virus NS5 methyltransferase by hit/lead compounds generated from drug discovery programs.

The N-terminal domain of the flavivirus NS5 protein functions as a methyltransferase (MTase). It sequentially methylates the N7 and 2’-O positions of the viral RNA cap structure (GpppA → 7meGpppA → 7meGpppA2’-O-me). It is currently unknown how the MTase catalyzes these distinct sequential methylatio...
