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 T1 and T1ρ relaxation times, which we...
