May guide antiviral inhibitor design targeting metal ions; hypothesis-generating without clinical validation.
Understanding the structural basis of metal binding in viral proteins may aid in the early design and development of viral inhibitors.
Chaturvedi et al. (2004) conducted a review in Viral infections. Metal ions (zinc, magnesium, copper) was evaluated. Metal ions such as zinc, magnesium, and copper are integral to the survival and pathogenesis of viruses, highlighting their potential as targets for the design of viral inhibitors.
