Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is formed by budding. A stretch of 22 amino acids (aa) (matrix domain, MD, R103 - S124) in the large envelope protein L is crucial for virion formation and probably establishes contact to the nucleocapsid. Here, we assess the impact of sequence variations at numerous individual aa positions within the MD on virion formation. We generated panels of L mutants covering all 19 possible aa...
