Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the YMDD motif of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase result in reduced susceptibility of HBV to inhibition by lamivudine, at a cost in replication fitness. The mechanisms underlying the effects of YMDD mutations on replication fitness were investigated using both a cell-based...
