摘要: Identifying binding motifs or critical sequence segments is a key step toward understanding the mechanism of interactions between hepatitis C virus (HCV) and host cell proteins, such as human proteins. In present study, we found pair motifs, G185-L234 in HCV NS5A proteins L-X(3,5)-E-[AEGNQST] which are considered to be determinant for The motif often forms full helix (H) an extended strand-loop (EL) structure. We also 3 highly conserved NS5A, G185-D196, 7^216-^239, S 414-8437, good agreement with experimental results previous studies. These expected prove helpful design high-affinity molecules that target sites
