A model image of the organization of the HBV coat is proposed on the ground of published evidence, as well as the authors' own results concerning the dissociation of the viral coat into lipoprotein subunits devoid of HBsAg activity. Structural relationships are envisaged and the existence of a hypothetical polypeptide structure possessing hydrophobic and/or polar binding sites is inferred.
