Result: Alternatively, in the model of M250V, the valine side chain pack
Result: In contrast, ETVr due to substitutions of M250V or M250L in LVDr HBV was found to be manifested primarily during RNA-directed minus strand DNA synthesis, as the EC50 for the first (minus) strand was increased relative to that for the second (plus) strand.
Result: M250 substitutions that were smaller than methionine and replicated well, M250A/G/S/T/C/D/E/Q/N/V/L/I, were all resistant.
Result: Several different ETVr substitutions have been observed in ETV-treated patients, including T184A/C/F/G/I/L/M/S, S202C/G/I, and M250 I/L/V.
Evolution of hepatitis B virus polymerase mutations in a patient with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B virus treated with sequential monotherapy and add-on nucleoside/nucleotide analogues.
Abstract: Finally, in highly drug-experienced patients, clusters of mutations such as rtA181T/I233V/N236T/M250L, all on the one dominant HBV genome, are being detected which are associated with multi-drug resistance.
