The dengue virus (DENV) is the causative agent of the viral infection dengue fever. It utilizes the NS2B-NS3pro serine protease to cleave the viral polyprotein into its constituents. We present here a QM/MM to study of the first step (acylation) of the reaction catalyzed by NS2B-NS3pro, using PDDG/PM3 for the QM subsystem, and Amber ff99SB for the MM subsystem.
