Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a challenge to human public health despite the development of highly effective direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). Sofosbuvir (SOF), a key component in most DAA-based anti-HCV cocktail regimens, is a potent viral RNA polymerase (NS5B) inhibitor with a high barrier to drug resistance. The serine-to-threonine mutation at NS5B 282 (S282T) confers the SOF resistance, but...
