Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B protein is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is required for viral genome replication and constitutes the most important target region for drugs being developed as direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) against HCV genotype 1. However, the extreme genetic variability leading to drug resistance mutations and genetic barriers has dramatically compromised the effectiveness of DAA...
