Comment
Viperin, a member of the radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) superfamily of enzymes, implicated in inhibiting the replication of a remarkable range of RNA and DNA viruses, including dengue virus, West Nile virus, hepatitis C virus, influenza A virus, rabies virus2 and HIV.Viperin suppresses the replication of influenza A and HIV-1 by blocking the release of viral particles, interacts with the RC of HCV and DENV to inhibit viral replication by binding with the nonstructural HCV protein NS5A and the DENV NS3 protein
