Figure 4From: Evolution of naturally occurring 5'non-coding region variants of Hepatitis C virus in human populations of the South American regionPrediction of stem-loop II IRES RNA secondary structure. mfold results of IRES stem-loop II are shown. Numbers in the figure denote nucleotide positions, ΔG obtained for the structures are shown on the bottom of the figure. In (A) mfold results for consensus type 1 strains isolated in South America is shown. (B) shows mfold results for signature consensus sequences.Back to article page
