Development of a S-adenosylmethionine analog that intrudes the RNA-cap binding site of Zika methyltransferase

Abstract The Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a major health hazard. We present here a high resolution structure (1.55 Å) of ZIKV NS5 methyltransferase bound to a novel S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) analog in which a 4-fluorophenyl moiety substitutes for the methyl group. We show that the 4-fluoropheny...
