Prediction of binding motifs in hepatitis C virus NS5A and human proteins

Protein Pept Lett. 2008;15(5):494-504. doi: 10.2174/092986608784567500.

Abstract

From the extensive analysis, we identified three highly conserved sequence segments in HCV NS5A proteins and one binding motif in human proteins. The binding motif of human proteins often forms a full helix or an extended strand-loop structure, and is in good agreement with the experimental findings of previous studies.
