Abstract

Non-structural protein 2 (nsP2), which plays an essential role in replication of CHIKV, contains a protease, helicase, and methyltransferase-like domain. We executed a simple a screen using malachite green to detect compounds that decreased ATP hydrolysis and tested a library of diverse compounds to find inhibitors of CHIKV nsP2 helicase.
