Virtual Screening for Possible Allosteric Inhibitors of Dengue RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp)
Background and Objective: Virtual screening involves the docking of databases containing the structures of small molecules into a region of interest in silico and the scoring of ligands according to their predicted target site interactions.

Homology Modeling and Analysis of Structure Predictions of the Bovine Rhinitis B Virus RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp) [PDF]
Bovine Rhinitis B Virus (BRBV) is a picornavirus responsible for mild respiratory infection of cattle. It is probably the least characterized among the aphthoviruses. BRBV is the closest relative known to Foot and Mouth Disease virus (FMDV) with a ~43% identical polyprotein sequence and as much as 67% identical sequence for the RNA dependent RNA ...

LSPR biosensing enables rapid, sensitive, and low‐sample‐volume detection of biomarkers, with broad applications in diagnosing cancer, infectious, and chronic diseases. Advances in nanostructure design, micro/nanofabrication, and microfluidic integration have expanded the potential of LSPR sensors in biomedical diagnostics.

4′‐ThioRNA was broadly tolerated across multiple positions in SARS‐CoV‐2‐targeting siRNAs, but full 4'‐thio modification of both strands caused a reduction in RNAi activity. Sense‐strand segmentation improved RNAi and antiviral activity, particularly when the nick was located at position 10 from the 5′‐end of the sense strand, thereby unlocking the ...

Interaction between Hantavirus Nucleocapsid Protein (N) and RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp) Mutants Reveals the Requirement of an N-RdRp Interaction for Viral RNA Synthesis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Viral ribonucleocapsids harboring the viral genomic RNA are used as the template for viral mRNA synthesis and replication of the viral genome by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Here we show that hantavirus nucleocapsid protein (N protein) interacts with RdRp in virus-infected cells. We mapped the RdRp binding domain at the
