Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA replication takes place in the viral capsid that consists of 180 or 240 copies of HBV capsid (HBc or core) protein. The monomeric core protein contains an apical loop region that forms the spikes on the surface of viral capsid upon core dimerization and capsid assembly. To investigate the impact on HBV DNA replication through gene engineering at the spike of HBV capsid. plasmids...
