'''HCV NS3 PROTEASE DOMAIN:NS4A PEPTIDE COMPLEX'''
===HCV NS3 PROTEASE DOMAIN:NS4A PEPTIDE COMPLEX===




==Overview==
<!--
An estimated 1% of the global human population is infected by hepatitis C viruses (HCVs), and there are no broadly effective treatments for the debilitating progression of chronic hepatitis C. A serine protease located within the HCV NS3 protein processes the viral polyprotein at four specific sites and is considered essential for replication. Thus, it emerges as an attractive target for drug design. We report here the 2.5 angstrom resolution X-ray crystal structure of the NS3 protease domain complexed with a synthetic NS4A activator peptide. The protease has a chymotrypsin-like fold and features a tetrahedrally coordinated metal ion distal to the active site. The NS4A peptide intercalates within a beta sheet of the enzyme core.
The line below this paragraph, {{ABSTRACT_PUBMED_8861917}}, adds the Publication Abstract to the page
(as it appears on PubMed at http://www.pubmed.gov), where 8861917 is the PubMed ID number.
