Hepatitis B virus core protein allosteric modulators can distort and disrupt intact capsids

Hepatitis B virus core protein allosteric modulators can distort and disrupt intact capsids

Defining mechanisms of direct-acting antivirals facilitates drug development and our understanding of virus function. Heteroaryldihydropyrimidines (HAPs) inappropriately activate assembly of hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein (Cp), suppressing formation of virions. We examined a fluorophore-labele...
