Zika virus nonstructural protein 5 residue R681 is critical for dimer formation and enzymatic activity

Zika virus (ZIKV) relies on its nonstructural protein 5 (NS5) for capping and synthesis of the viral RNA. Recent small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data of recombinant ZIKV NS5 protein showed that it is dimeric in solution. Here, we present insights into the critical residues responsible for its di...
