Alphaviruses are positive-strand RNA viruses, mostly being mosquito-transmitted. Cells infected by an alphavirus become resistant to superinfection due to a block that occurs at the level of RNA replication. Alphavirus replication proteins, called nsP1-4,

Beyond Inhibition: A Novel Strategy of Targeting HIV-1 Protease to Eliminate Viral Reservoirs
HIV-1 protease (PR) is a viral enzyme that cleaves the Gag and Gag-Pol polyprotein precursors to convert them into their functional forms, a process which is essential to generate infectious viral particles.

Cryptococcal Protease(s) and the Activation of SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) Protein
In this contribution, we report on the possibility that cryptococcal protease(s) could activate the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. The S protein is documented to have a unique four-amino-acid sequence (underlined, SPRRAR↓S) at the interface between the S1

The Escherichia coli chaperonin GroEL/ES (GroE) is one of the most extensively studied molecular chaperones. So far, ~80 proteins in E. coli are identified as GroE substrates that obligately require GroE for folding in vivo. In GroE-depleted cells, these
