The Duck HBV RNA encapsidation signal epsilon is an RNA structure that is shown to facilitate encapsidation of the pregenomic RNA required for replication.

DHBV is used as a model to understand human HBV. DHBV epsilon consists of a stem structure, a bulge and an apical stem loop. The RNA structure was determined by chemical probing, NMR analysis and by mutagenesis [1].

A recent NMR analysis of the DHBV epsilon have shown that the apical loop to be capped by a stable well-structured UGUU tetraloop [2].

The Rfam structure is based on a covariation model.
