Hepatitis B virus and Homo sapiens proteomewide analysis: A profusion of viral peptide overlaps in neuron-specific human proteins
1 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
The primary amino acid sequence of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) proteome was searched for identity spots in the human proteome by using the Protein Information Resource database. We find that the HBV polyprotein shares sixty-five heptapeptides, one octapeptide, and one nonapeptide with the human proteins. The viral matches are disseminated among fundamental human proteins such as adhesion molecules, leukocyte...
