Conservation of hydrophobicity within viral envelope glycoproteins reveals a putative hepatitis C virus fusion peptide

The mechanism(s) by which hepatitis C virus (HCV) enters and infects cells remains unknown. Identifying the HCV fusion peptide(s) and understanding the early stages of infection may provide new opportunities for improved antiviral therapy. The HCV envelope glycoprotein E2 is thought to be a class II...
