22 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections are a global public health issue. HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), the template for the transcription of viral RNAs, is a key factor in the HBV replication cycle.

The HBV cccDNA minichromosome is a clinical obstacle that cannot be...
