Abstract excerpt
Enteroviruses possess a highly conserved 9 amino acid stretch of mainly hydrophobic character in the capsid protein VP1. A novel strategy, combining site-saturation mutagenesis and a single-tube cloning and transfection procedure, has been developed for the analysis of this motif in coxsackievirus A9 (CAV-9). Four individual amino acids were separately mutated. Mutagenesis of three of the four positions in CAV-9...
