Abstract excerpt
The mono-site mutations of the absolutely conserved residues, (464)LGR(466), in the α-helix 5 (h5) of HPV16 L1 completely disrupted the pentamer formation. The implication of this finding is the potential usage of a h5-like peptide as the reagent to interfere with the pentamer formation and stability as an anti-HPV reagent.
