METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING INHIBITORS AGAINST VIRUSES THAT USE A CLASS I FUSION PROTEIN

摘要

The invention concerns the generation of a three dimensional model of the six helix bundle (6HB) complexed with an inhibitor and the use of that model to identify, screen and/or develop inhibitors against viruses that use a class I fusion protein. Such inhibitors of viruses that use a class I fusion protein may be effective for treating, for example, respiratory infections by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).
