Identification of core therapeutic targets for Monkeypox virus and repurposing potential of drugs: A WEB prediction approach.

ABSTRACT: A new round of monkeypox virus has emerged in the United Kingdom since July 2022 and rapidly swept the world. Currently, despite numerous research groups are studying this virus and seeking effective treatments, the information on the open reading frame, inhibitors, and potential targets of monkeypox has not been updated in time, and the comprehension of monkeypox target ligand interactions remains a key challenge. Here, we first summarized and improved the open reading frame information of monkeypox, constructed the monkeypox inhibitor library and potential targets library by database research as well as literature search, combined with advanced protein modeling technologies (Sequence-based and AI algorithms-based homology modeling). In addition, we build monkeypox virus Docking Server, a
