Cryoelectron Microscopy Enables Localization of HBV Protein

Published in Hepatitis Weekly, December 28th, 1998

Researchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health have used cryoelectron microscopy to localize the N terminus of the hepatitis B virus capsid protein.

Recently, cryoelectron microscopy of isolated macromolecular complexes has advanced to resolutions below 10 A, enabling direct visualization of alpha-helical secondary structure.

"To help correlate such density maps with the amino acid sequences of the component proteins, we advocate peptide-based difference mapping, i.e., insertion of peptides, approximately 10 residues long, at targeted points in the sequence and visualization of these peptides as bulk labels in cryoelectron microscopy-derived...
