Biochemical Study of the Comparative Inhibition of Hepatitis C Virus RNA Polymerase by VX-222 and Filibuvir

Yi G et al. This resistance was the result of a 250fold loss in the binding affinity (Kd) of the mutated enzyme to filibuvir. In contrast, the inhibitory activity of VX222 was only modestly affected by the M423T substitution but more significantly
