![A coiling protein 'shell,' called a nucleocapsid, shown here, surrounds Ebola's genetic material, which consists of single-strand RNA. University of Delaware researchers are simulating the way molecules of this nucleocapsid move and interact, atom by atom, to understand their functions and expose targets for anti-viral treatments [Credit: Juan Perilla Laboratory].](https://www.drugtargetreview.com/wp-content/uploads/Ebola-nucleocapsid-e1603365997854.jpg)

The nucleocapsid as a novel drug target for Ebola virus
Using supercomputer stimulations researchers reveal that the structural stability of the Ebola nucleocapsid is depended on the presence of RNA and interactions with charged ions.
