Computational chemistry: a useful tool in the fight against hepatitis C


Abstract:

This article discusses the main recent contributions of computational chemistry to the development of hepatitis C virus (HCV) drugs, with a focus on the HCV NS3/NS4A protease inhibitors and the challenges and complexities involved in their development. Furthermore, new strategies resulting from a detailed knowledge of the protease reaction mechanism will be discussed. © Touch Briefings 2011.
