Cytotoxicity
Binding Target Glycoprotein.
Mechanism Exact MoA explicitly not available (EBOV-8 likely inhibits Ebola virus by targeting viral entry and fusion processes. It may interfere with viral glycoproteins, preventing the virus from attaching to and entering host cells. Additionally, EBOV-8 could disrupt the fusion between the viral envelope and host cell membrane, blocking the release of viral genetic material. By targeting these critical steps, the peptide effectively halts infection and viral replication. The specific antiviral mechanisms of EBOV-8 involve interactions with viral proteins essential for these processes. Detailed studies and assays in the full research paper would provide further insights into these mechanisms.).
