Abstract excerpt
The N terminal region of hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg), referred to here as NdAg, has a nucleic acid chaperone activity that modulates the ribozyme activity of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) RNA and stimulates hammerhead ribozyme catalysis. We characterized the nucleic acid binding properties of NdAg, identified the structural and sequence domains important for nucleic acid binding, and studied the correlation...
