Molecular Modelling And Biological Evaluation Of Peptide Based Inhibitors For Dengue Virus

Dengue is recognized as one of the most prevalent arthropod-borne viral diseases in human. In these few decades, the pathogenic dengue virus (DENV) has become a serious threat to global health and the World Health Organization’s (WHO) database shows an increase of reported dengue cases by 800% withi...
