In the hepatitis B virus, this genetic material is protected by a shell of protein molecules called a capsid. Hepatitis B virions, also known as Dane particles, are approximately 40 nanometers in ...

Researchers at UD use supercomputer to gain insights into hepatitis B. “The capsid looks like a spiky ball, with 120 protein dimers that assemble to form it; each dimer contains a spike,” said Jodi A.

"With hepatitis B, the structure of the capsid has been known for years, but we wanted to study its motion and its influence on its surroundings," said Jodi A. Hadden, an independent postdoctoral ...

A viral capsid is a structure that contains a virus’s genetic material; in the case of hepatitis B, the capsid is an icosahedral structure about 36 nanometers in diameter and composed of 240 ...

The capsid shell of infectious hepatitis B virus (HBV) is composed of 240 copies of a single protein called HBV core antigen (HBc). An atomic model of a core assembled from truncated HBc was ...

WARMINSTER, Pa., Oct. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS), a Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) therapeutic solutions company, today announced its decision to ...

Aligos Belgium presented research on ALG-005398, a first representative of a series of non-heteroaryldihydropyrimidines (HAPs) class I capsid-assembly modulators, that was identified using ...
