Abstract excerpt
The RNA polymerase activity of the hepatitis C virus, a major human pathogen, has previously been shown to be supported by metal ions. In the present study, we report a systematic analysis of the effect of metal ion binding on the structural stability of the hepatitis C virus RNA polymerase. Chemical and thermal denaturation assays revealed that the stability of the protein is increased significantly in the...
