Abstract excerpt
Non-nucleoside inhibitors of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the hepatitis C virus that are based on a benzimidazole or indole scaffold have been reported to interact with thumb domain 1 of the enzyme. Escape mutants that confer in vitro resistance to these inhibitors map to amino acids P495, P496 or V499. We here report a novel resistance mutation (T389S/A) that was identified following resistance selection...
