Binding Target  Membrane

Mechanism  Nkl71-100exerts strong antiviral activity against spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) by inhibiting not only the binding of viral particles to host cells, but also the fusion of virus and cell membranes, which requires a low pH context. Such antiviral activity seems to be related to the important role that PS plays in these steps of the replication cycle of SVCV, a feature that is shared by other families of virus-comprising members with health and veterinary relevance. Consequently, Nkl71⁻100 is shown as a promising broad-spectrum antiviral candidate. it was observed that Nkl71–100 alters the binding ability of SVCV to cell membranes since virus-cell binding levels significantly decreased in the presence of peptide in comparison to what it is observed in its absence.
