Award for research on the dynamics of Dengue virus NS4A protein and its role in membrane deformation to aid virus replication, involving computational and experimental methods.
Description
This project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms by which the dengue virus protein NS4A induces membrane bending, which is crucial for virus replication. The research involves computational simulations and experimental validation, with potential implications for therapeutic development.
