Molecular Docking-Based Analysis of Rauvolfia serpentina Alkaloids Targeting HPV E1 and L1 Proteins for Antiviral Therapeutic Potential
Abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of cervical cancer and other epithelial cancers. E1 and L1 proteins are crucial to the virus's lifespan. E1 is a viral helicase that is needed for HPV DNA replication, and L1 is the main structural capsid protein that builds the virion and infects target cells. Going after these proteins is a good way to stop viruses from spreading. In this case, Rauvolfia serpentina, …
