The bifunctional NS3 protease-helicase of hepatitis C virus (HCV), together with its cofactor protein NS4A, is an important target for antiviral drugs which can cure HCV infections. HCV strains are divided into six major genotypes based on sequence diversity, and the great majority of reports on NS3 have focused exclusively on genotype 1 proteins. Here we report the cloning, expression, and preliminary...
