Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) replicates its DNA genome via reverse transcription. Precise roles of the terminal protein domain of HBV polymerase remain unknown. To gain insight, we created alanine substitution mutations at hydrophobic residues (i.e., tyrosine, tryptophan, and isoleucine), and then exa...
