Abstract excerpt
Very low-level expression of hepatitis B virus (HBV) preS1 with the native-type N-terminus hampered the biochemical and functional studies on its myristoylation. In the present study, the fusion HBV preS1 with the native-type N-terminus and a His6-Tag fused to C-terminus (HBV preS1-HT) was highly expressed in Escherichia coli. This was due to an introduced mutation of the rare codon GGA found in the HBV preS1 to...
