Hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope proteins are essential not only for maintaining the viral life cycle, but also for evading the host's immune response and in clinical intervention. A thorough understanding of HCV envelope proteins depends on the availability of detailed structural information. Two crystal structures of the E2 core portion and of the E2 ectodomain, and one structure of the N-terminus of E1 ectodomain have shed new light on the complexity of HCV envelope proteins. In addition, the ...[more]
