Carreira Aura, Mateu Mauricio G
Abstract excerpt
The structural and functional relevance of amino acid residues surrounding cavities within the hydrophobic core of the protein subunits that form the capsid of parvoviruses has been investigated. Several of the evolutionarily conserved, hydrophobic residues that delimit these cavities in the capsid of the minute virus of mice were replaced by other hydrophobic residues that would affect the size and/or shape of...
