Abstract excerpt
Despite the excellent antiviral potency of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) against hepatitis C virus (HCV), emergence of drug-resistant viral mutations remains a potential challenge. Sofobuvir (SOF), a nucleotide analog targeting HCV NS5B - RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), constitutes a key component of many anti-HCV cocktail regimens and confers a high barrier for developing drug resistance. The serine to...
