Niemann–Pick Type C2 Proteins in <i>Aedes aegypti</i>: Molecular Modelling and Prediction of Their Structure–Function Relationships

<i>Aedes aegypti</i> is a major vector that transmits arboviruses through the saliva injected into the host. Salivary proteins help in uninterrupted blood intake and enhance the transmission of pathogens. We studied Niemann–Pick Type C2 (NPC2) proteins, a superfamily of saliva proteins t...
