Hepatitis C Virus fusion mechanism

"A protein coevolution method uncovers critical features of the Hepatitis C Virus fusion mechanism" appeared in PLoS Pathogens, from A.Carbone team. This work sheds light on important structural features of the HCV fusion mechanism and contributes to advance our functional understanding of this process. This study also provides an important proof of concept that coevolution can be employed to explore viral protein mediated-processes, and can guide the development of innovative translational strategies against challenging human-tropic viruses.To the Article
