Abstract

- Ribavirin triphosphate (RTP) targets eIF4E in patients and human cells.
- NMR studies indicate RTP binds eIF4E in the m7G cap binding pocket.
- Features of RTP recognition overlap with, but are distinct from, the m7G cap.
- High and low affinity eIF4E-RTP complexes reveal structural differences.
- Considerations for drug design and new insights into ligand recognition.
