Replication of hepadnaviruses involves a viral DNA polymerase containing both a DNA-dependent and an RNA dependent activity. This polymerase is a potential target for chemotherapy against hepatitis B. We have used human hepatitis B virus DNA-dependent DNA polymerase from human serum and duck hepatit

## Abstract The effects of heat, sodium hypochlorite, diethyl ether, and ethyl alcohol on the activity of DNA polymerase (DNAβP) associated with hepatitis B virsus (HBV) in serum were evaluated. The response of DNAβP to heating at 60Β°C for 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 minutes was studied a
## Abstract A soluble DNA polymerase was purified 8,000βfold from hepatitis B surface antigen positive serum. The molecular weight of the enzyme by gel filtration was about 1.60 Γ 10^5^, the sedimentation coefficient was 5.5S, the apparent Km for dTTP was 4 MM, the optimum pH in the presence of Mg^
Human hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase activity was inhibited by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) specifically and noncompetitively with respect to deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP). NaBH, reduction of PLP-HBV core proteins resulted in the complete inactivation of HBV DNA polymerase, and PLP modi
