The capsid of the hepatitis B virus has a very unique structure. It is composed of many monomers which interact to provide flexibility to its structure and function.

Abstract 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 ...

Like the human genome, the genome of the hepatitis B virus is formed by double-stranded DNA and enclosed by the capsid, which has icosahedral symmetry, resembling the geometric structure of a ...

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 identical ...

About AB-506 AB-506 is an oral HBV capsid inhibitor. HBV core protein assembles into a capsid structure, which is required for viral replication.

"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 ...

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 ...

The hepatitis B capsid, a protein shell that encloses the virus, is described as a “spiky ball” consisting of dimers, or two-part molecular structures that assemble to form it.
