The hepatitis C virus (HCV) has infected over 170 million people worldwide and often leads to a chronic infection which can result in liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In order to develop more specific therapies for this disease, thorough understanding of the virus and its proteins is essential. This thesis focuses on the characterisation of two of these HCV encoded proteins, NS2/3 and NS2. The HCV NS2/3 protease cleaves between NS2 and NS3 and we show that NS2/3 activity is absolutely required for genome replication. Indeed, mutation of any of the catalytic active site residues in NS2/3 to alanine results in the inability of NS2 replicons to replicate in both transient and stable replication assays. However ...
