Abstract excerpt
Mutations at a number of key positions (Ala156, Asp168 and Arg155) of the HCV NS3/4A protease can induce medium to high resistance to MK5172. The emergence of the resistant mutations seriously compromises the antiviral therapy efficacy to hepatitis C. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, free energy calculations and free energy decomposition were used to explore the interaction profiles of MK5172...
