Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 4B (NS4B) is an integral membrane protein, which plays an important role in the organization and function of the HCV replication complex (RC). Although much is understood about its amphipathic N-terminal and C-terminal domains, we know very little about the role of the transmembrane domains (TMDs) in NS4B function. We hypothesized that in addition to anchoring NS4B...
