FIELD: chemistry, biochemistry. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology and concerns protein of protease NS3/4A HCV or its biologically active fragment, which contains succession, in which residue of amino acid, corresponding to amino acid 156 of protease NS3/4A HCV of wild type, is not the residue of alanine and, not obligatorily, residue of amino acid, which corresponds to aminocacid 168 of protease NS3/4A HCV of wild type, is not asparaginic acid. Invention also relates to polynucleotide, coding said protein, as well as application of said protein in detection of HCV presence in biological sample, as well as in method of determination if the infection, mediated by HCV, in patient is resistant to medication against HCV, in estimation method, if the infected by HCV patient has lower sensitivity or susceptibility to VX-950, as well as in method of candidate examination for inhibitor or potential inhibitor of HCV. ^ EFFECT: expansion of arsenal of medications for HCV treatment. ^ 68 cl, 17 dwg, 6 tbl, 13 ex |
