Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), like other positive-sense RNA viruses, encodes a multidomain protein essential for replication, termed ORF1. However, the number, organization, and functions of its domains remain debated. Using AlphaFold2-based structural modeling, we investigated two structurally disordered regions with potential regulatory functions: (i) a 16-residue linker between the Helicase (Hel) and RNA-dependent...
