TL;DR

Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-binding site ligand formed a more stable complex with lower root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) and reduced flexibility, indicating a promising lead candidate for further optimization and experimental validation against dengue virus NS5.
