Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) protease requires NS4A as a cofactor. This cofactor activity has been mapped to the central region of NS4A which interacts with the N-terminus of NS3 protease. To investigate whether this interaction is conserved among different genotypes of HCV cross-genotypic characterization were performed to delineate the importance of NS4A cofactor...
