摘要：

In this study, we have identified two novel peptides, 19Ac (comprising residues 91-105) and 20Ac (encompassing residues 96-110), from a systematically designed peptide library based on the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein, that inhibit the assembly of HBV capsid. Peptide 20Ac exhibited about twofold the inhibitory potency of 19Ac and proved effective against both standard and morphothiadin (GLS4)-resistant HBV strains. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that despite their overlapping sequence, 19Ac and 20Ac bonded to different regions of the core protein, thereby inhibiting capsid assembly through distinct mechanisms. These peptides could serve as valuable seed compounds for the further development of HBV capsid inhibitors, including GLS4-resistant strains.
