Hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly modulators (CAMs) represent a recent class of anti-HBV antivirals. CAMs disturb proper nucleocapsid assembly, by inducing formation of either aberrant assemblies (CAM-A) or of apparently normal but genome-less empty capsids (CAM-E). Classical structural approaches have revealed the CAM binding sites on the capsid protein (Cp), but conformational information on the CAM-induced off-path aberrant assemblies is lacking. Here we show that solid-state NMR can...

Fast Magic-Angle-Spinning NMR Reveals the Evasive Hepatitis B Virus Capsid*C-Terminal Domain
Experimentally determined protein structures often feature missing domains. One example is the C terminal domain (CTD) of the hepatitis B virus capsid protein, a functionally central part of this assembly, crucial in regulating nucleic-acid interactions, cellular trafficking, nuclear import, particle assembly and maturation. However, its structure remained elusive to all current techniques, including NMR. Here we show that the recently developed proton-detected fast magic-angle-spinning...

[NMR paper] Experimental Characterization of the Hepatitis B Virus Capsid Dynamics by Solid-State NMR
Experimental Characterization of the Hepatitis B Virus Capsid Dynamics by Solid-State NMR
Protein plasticity and dynamics are important aspects of their function. Here we use solid-state NMR to experimentally characterize the dynamics of the 3.5 MDa hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid, assembled from 240 copies of the Cp149 core protein. We measure both T (1) and T (1?) relaxation times, which we use to establish detectors on the nanosecond and microsecond timescale. We compare our results to those from a 1 microsecond all-atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation trajectory for the capsid....
