Bioactivity | KK4A peptide is a small peptide derived from nonstructural protein 4A (NS4A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) that significantly increases the catalytic efficiency of NS3 protease. The KK4A peptide may be used to gain insights into the function and mechanism of the HCV NS3 protease, thereby advancing research into HCV infection[1]. |
