Abstract excerpt
Understanding how the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) interacts with nascent RNA would provide valuable insight into the virus's mechanism for RNA synthesis. Using a peptide mass fingerprinting method and affinity capture of peptides reversibly cross-linked to an alkyn-labeled nascent RNA, we identified a region below the Δ1 loop in the fingers domain of the HCV RdRp that contacts the...
