structure-based identification of key residues and binding sites for inhibitor binding, design of non-competitive inhibitors for Dengue virus type 3 NS2b-NS3-protease, overview. The identified residues include 1. amino acids close to the beta sheet-loop-beta sheet known to be important in its closed conformation for NS2b 2. residues close to the active site, 3. several residues evenly spread on the NS2b-NS3 contact surface, and 4. some inner residues most likely related to the overall stability of the protease. Computational alanine scanning mutagenesis and similarity analysis based on sequence and structure homology, modeling. On the DENV NS3 protease, the residues Tyr23, Gly37, Phe46, Thr48, His51, Thr53, Leu58, Asp75, Tyr79, Trp89, and Thr156 are identified as class A and as the eleven highest ranked residues by both MLP models |
