Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito borne disease, has been linked to congenital anomalies in humans. Recent outbreaks of ZIKV have caused the scientific community to focus on this previously neglected pathogen. Information regarding phosphorylation potential of ZIKV proteins has yet to be elucidated. Deciphering phosphorylation potential of viral proteins is important because it assists in viral replication and its association with host receptors. Here, we present a vignette of the phosphorylation potential of ZIKV proteins using computational approach.
