Fig. 2

Functional domains of the NS2/3 protease. The NS2/3 protease encompasses an N-terminal hydrophobic region, with a minimal domain required for activity between aa 907 and 1206. Residues in NS2 required for NS2/3 processing (H942, E972, C993), as well as residues in NS3 responsible for the coordination of a zinc atom are shown
