Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) non-structural protein 3 (NS3) protease drug resistance poses serious challenges on the design of an effective treatment. Substrate Envelope Hypothesis, "the substrates of HCV NS3/4A protease have a consensus volume inside the active site called substrate envelope" is used to design potent and specific drugs to overcome this problem. Using molecular docking, we studied the binding...
