| Abstract | Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a disease that affects approximately 3% of the global population and requires new therapeutic agents without the inconvenience associated with current anti-HCV treatment. This paper reports on a study of a virtual screening and a molecular dynamics simulation of compounds derived from natural products from the Amazon region that are potentially effective against the NS3-4A enzyme of HCV, which plays an important role in the replication process of this virus. According to the results of the molecular docking calculations and subsequent consensual analysis, the best scored compounds showed interactions between hydrogen and residues of the catalytic triad as well as interactions with residues that guide ligands to the active site of the enzyme. They also showed stability in the molecular dynamics simulation, as the structures preserved important interactions at the active site of the enzyme. The root mean square deviation (RMSD) values were stabilized at the end of the simulation time. Such compounds are considered promising as novel therapies against HCV. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
