Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP), a central catalytic enzyme for HCV replication. To further understand the structure and functions of NS5B, we introduced a series of 27 clustered and 19 point substitution mutations within and outside the well-known motifs conserved among RdRP by alanine scanning and investigated effects of these mutants on...
