Abstract excerpt
Many direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) that selectively block hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication are currently under development. Among these agents is Daclatasvir, a first-in-class inhibitor targeting the NS5A viral protein. Although Daclatasvir is the most potent HCV antiviral molecule yet developed, its binding location and mode of binding remain unknown. The drug exhibits a low barrier to resistance...
