Abstract excerpt
Recent experimental findings pointed out a new mutation in the HCV protease, Q41R, responsible for a significant enhancement of the enzyme's reactivity towards the mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS). The Q41R mutation is located rather far from the active site, and its involvement in the overall reaction mechanism is thus unclear. We used classical molecular dynamics and QM/MM to study the acylation...
