Binding Target  VP24

Mechanism  The macrocyclic peptide eVpeD2 exhibits potent binding to immobilized Zaire Ebola virus VP24, with a dissociation constant (KD) in the single-digit nanomolar range. Studies show that eVpeD2 disrupts the protein-protein interaction between eVP24 and KPNA5, confirmed through assays like the AlphaLISA-based binding assay. This inhibition suggests eVpeD2's potential as a modulator of a crucial interaction in Ebola virus pathogenesis.
