Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, is a non-enveloped RNA virus. The open reading frame 1 encoded non-structural polyprotein has putative domains for methyltransferase, cysteine protease, helicase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, however processing of this polyprotein is still uncertain. HEV helicase belongs to superfamily 1 and has all seven conserved motifs typical of the family....
