Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) scaffolding protein encoded by gene UL26.5 promotes the formation of the icosahedral capsid shell through its association with the major capsid protein VP5 and through intermolecular interactions with itself. Inside the capsid shell, the UL26.5 product together with the maturational protease, a minor protein, form a spherical structure which is broken down and released from...
