Title: Translating old drugs into new treatments: ribosomal frameshifting as a target for antiviral agents Cord-id: wqi4z0ne Document date: 1998_4_1
ID: wqi4z0ne
Snippet: Programmed ribosomal frameshifting is used by many viruses to regulate the production of structural and enzymatic proteins. Altering the frameshifting efficiencies disrupts the virus life cycle and eliminates or reduces virus production. Ribosomal frameshifting therefore provides a unique target on which antiviral agents can function. This article describes a series of rapid assay strategies that have been developed and used to identify potential antiviral agents that target programmed −1 ribo
