Abstract

The present invention relates to novel druggable regions discovered in dengue virus envelope glycoprotein, or dengue virus E protein, which is a class II viral E protein. The present invention further relates to methods of using the druggable regions to screen potential candidate therapeutics for diseases caused by viruses having class II E proteins, e.g. viral fusion inhibitors.
