There are 2 main activities: ATP binding and helicase activity. | There are 2 main activities: ATP binding and helicase activity. | ||
Helicase from Zika virus with a specific domain : a serine protease. It is a specific class of protein that hydrolysis peptide bonds from proteins. | Helicase from Zika virus with a specific domain : a serine protease.

The helicase active site has a serine residue that serves as a nucleophilic amino acid. This residue is essential for the catalytic activity of the enzyme.The serine protases present a catalytic triad composed of 3 amino acids His57 Asp102 and Ser195.These 3 amino acids interaction is due to the folding of the protein | |||

This residue is essential for the catalytic activity of the enzyme.The serine protases present a catalytic triad composed of 3 amino acids His57 Asp102 and Ser195.These 3 amino acids have a specific interaction which is due to the folding of the protein. The tridimentional conformation of the protein brings closer these 3 residues. Their side chains have a specific function : | ||
Ser195: the hydroxyl group plays the role of a nucleophile that attack the substrate. | |||
His57: the nitrogen receives an hydrogen from the hydroxyl group of Ser195. | |||
Asp102: this amino acid allows to increase the electronegativity of His157 nitrogen by making hydrogen bond with His157. | |||
All these reactions allows to cleave the substrate by attacking its carbonyl group. | |||
