FIG. 6.

3-D model of DHBV core protein. The model was built as described in Materials and Methods with 1GQT as the molecular template (33). All helices have been stained in red. Three identified ARs have been positioned onto the 3-D model (AR2 from amino acids ⁶⁴T to ⁸⁴P is indicated in blue; AR3 from aa ⁹⁹I to ¹¹²I is indicated in green in the region with unavailable atomic coordinates, corresponding to the 45-aa insertion; and AR5 from aa ¹⁸³A to ²¹⁰R is indicated in yellow). The dotted lines indicate regions in DHBc for which no atomic coordinates are available.
