Identification of Structural Domains Involved in Astrovirus Capsid Biology
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Coat proteins of non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses must perform a variety of functions during their life cycle such as assembly of the coat protein subunits into a closed shell, specific encapsidation of the viral nucleic acid, maturation of the capsid, interaction with host receptors, and disassembly to deliver the genetic information into the newly infected cell. A thorough understanding of the multiple capsid...
