Abstract excerpt
Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) of hepatitis C virus contains a bipartite structure consisting of an N-terminal serine protease and a C-terminal DEXH box helicase. To investigate the roles of individual amino acid residues in the overall mechanism of unwinding, a mutational-functional analysis was performed based on a molecular model of the NS3 helicase domain bound to ssDNA, which has largely been confirmed by a...
