In depth analysis on the binding sites of adamantane derivatives in HCV (hepatitis C virus) p7 channel based on the NMR structure.
BACKGROUND: The recently solved solution structure of HCV (hepatitis C virus) p7 ion channel provides a solid structure basis for drug design against HCV infection. In the p7 channel the ligand amantadine (or rimantadine) was determined in a hydrophobic pocket. However the pharmocophore (-NH2) of th...
