Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the N-terminal 31 amino acids from the coat protein (CP) of Sesbania mosaic virus (SeMV) results in the formation of T = 1 capsids. The X-ray crystal structure of CP-NDelta31 mutant capsids reveals that the CP adopts a conformation similar to those of other T = 1 mutants. The 40 N-terminal residues are disordered in CP-NDelta31. The intersubunit hydrogen bonds closely resemble those of the native...
