title: Studies on the structure of HBV DNA.
abstract: The structure of HBV adr NC-1 DNA is analyzed and compared with another five strains of HBV DNAs. Some of the prokaryotic promoter-like sequences, palindrom sequences and ATAA are found. An enhancer core sequence and some other characteristics are also shown. In considering the frame and its regulatory sequence as a transcriptional unit some of the possible new frames are discussed.
