Abstract excerpt
The 3'X domain of hepatitis C virus has been reported to control viral replication and translation by modulating the exposure of a nucleotide segment involved in a distal base-pairing interaction with an upstream 5BSL3.2 domain. To study the mechanism of this molecular switch, we have analyzed the structure of 3'X mutants that favor one of the two previously proposed conformations comprising either two or three...
