Structural organization of dengue virus envelope protein. The RNA genome of dengue virus is composed of a single ORF, flanking by 5’ and 3’ untranslated region. The ORF includes coding sequence of three structural proteins, and seven non-structural proteins. The envelope (E) is the most significant structural protein of dengue virus surface. The monomer of each of the envelope protein is arranged into head-to-tail homo-dimer and 90 of such dimers are arrange in icosahedral symmetry to constitute the complete surface of dengue virus. Each of the monomeric envelope protein consists of three ecto-domains: EDI, EDII and EDIII. The domain I, II and III are denoting by red, golden and violet color respectively.
