As the viral target approach to develop antiviral drugs is inadequate for responding to an increasing diversity of viruses, an urgent need exists for the development of new antivirals to prevent future outbreaks. Here, we show that aglycone ionophores maduramycin (Mad) and endusamycin (End) from are broadly virucidal against cytoplasmic replicated viruses, including Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), rabies virus, hepatitis C virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, hantavirus, dengue virus, Zika virus, chikungunya virus, and SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. Mechanistic studies suggest Mad and End can target actin filaments and displace the DNase-I-binding loop (D-loop) into an outward conformation for stabilizing actin filaments and primarily inhibit viral replication. Liposome-encapsulated Mad or End fully protects mice against JEV infection in vivo. Thus, our results may provide potential and naturally produced antivirals to prevent the spread of viruses in animals.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
