Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Dengue virus (DENV) is one type of virus belongs to the Flavivirus family that can be transmitted through mosquito bites. Infection with the dengue virus can cause different febrile symptoms, such as dengue fever (DD) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), with or without shock. The purpose of this study is to obtain a new compound from Zingiber officinale that is expected to have potential bioactivity against DENV-2 NS2B/NS3 serine protease. A computational approach was applied in this study; which began with docking of compounds into protein targets, followed by density functional theory, drug-likeness, and ADMET analysis. According to the calculation, it was determined that compound 9 has binding interactions with the active triad through amino acids His51, Asp75, and Ser135. Additionally, drug-likeness and ADMET analysis for compound 9 showed that it has optimal lipophilicity and, when administered orally, can achieve good bioavailability. It is indicated that compound 9 can be used as a promising and potential inhibitor for DENV-2 NS2B/NS3 serine protease.
