ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are screening methods to identify molecules which activate or inhibit the activity of an ATPase protein of the Flaviviridae family, particularly NS4B protein of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). These inhibitors and activators of HCV NS4B protein potentially can be used as antiviral compounds and as therapeutic agents for the treatment of viruses linked to the Flaviviridae family, particularly HCV, flaviviruses such as yellow fever virus, Dengue virus types 1-4, and pestiviruses such as bovine viral diarrhea virus and classic swine fever, among others.
