This study described the structural characterization of Pakistani HCV NS3 GT3a in parallel with genotypes 1a and 1b NS3. We investigated the role of amino acids and their interaction patterns in different HCV genotypes by crystallographic modeling. Different softwares were used to study the interaction pattern, for example, CLCBIO sequence viewer, MODELLER, NMRCLUST, ERRAT score, and MODELLER. Sixty models were produced and clustered into groups and the best model of PK-NCVI/Pk3a NS3 was selected and studied further to check the variability with other HCV NS3 genotypes. This study will help in future to understand the structural architecture of HCV genome variability and to further define the conserved targets for antiviral agents.

Adenylation enzymes play an important role in the selective incorporation of the cognate carboxylate substrates in natural product biosynthesis. Here, the biochemical and structural characterization of the adenylation enzyme IdnL7, which is involved in the biosynthesis of the macrolactam polyketide antibiotic incednine, is reported. Biochemical analysis showed that IdnL7 selects and activates several small amino acids. The structure of IdnL7 in complex with an L-alanyl-adenylate intermediate mimic, 5′-O-[N-(L-alanyl)sulfamoyl]adenosine, was determined at 2.1 Å resolution. The structure of IdnL7 explains the broad substrate specificity of IdnL7 towards small L-amino acids.
