Translation of human hepatitis C virus RNA in cultured cells is mediated by an internal ribosome-binding mechanism
1 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
The human hepatitis C virus (HCV) contains a long 5' noncoding region (5' NCR). Computer-assisted and biochemical analyses suggest that there is a complex secondary structure in this region that is comparable to the secondary structures that are found in picornaviruses (E.A.
