Title:
CAPPING ENZYME OF FLAVIVIRUS AND UTILIZATION OF THIS PROTEIN IN A PROCESS TO TEST DRUGS WITH ANTIVIRAL PROPERTIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002097075
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an isolated and purified polypeptide capable of acting as a guanylyltransferase and methyltransferase comprising capping enzyme of flavivirus (CEF). The present invention also concerns the use of such polypeptide to identify biologically active molecule which can be used in the treatment or the prevention of diseases resulting from Flavivirus infection.
