Discovery of Small Molecules Against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Replication by Targeting 2C Helicase Activity [PDF]
Background: The 2C protein of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), a member of helicase superfamily 3 (SF3), drives viral genome replication and serves as a critical target for antiviral drug development. Methods: A fluorescence resonance energy transfer

Biochemical Characterization of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Helicase
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) helicase is a superfamily 1 helicase containing seven conserved motifs. We have cloned, expressed, and purified a Strep-fused recombinant MERS-CoV nonstructural protein 13 (M-nsp13) helicase ...

Structure, mechanism and crystallographic fragment screening of the SARS-CoV-2 NSP13 helicase
There is currently a lack of effective drugs to treat people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 Non-structural protein 13 (NSP13) has been identified as a target for anti-virals due to its high sequence ...

The enigmatic helicase DHX9 and its association with the hallmarks of cancer
Much interest has been expended lately in characterizing the association between DExH-Box helicase 9 (DHX9) dysregulation and malignant development, however, the enigmatic nature of DHX9 has caused conflict as to whether it regularly functions as an ...
