Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus consists of an outer envelope and an inner capsid, or core, that wraps around the small genome plus the viral replication enzyme. The icosahedrally symmetric nucleocapsid is assembled from multiple dimeric subunits of a single 183-residue capsid protein, which must therefore contain interfaces for monomer dimerization and for dimer multimerization. The atomic structure of the protein is not...
