Abstract excerpt
We have targeted the intersubunit interfaces in the capsid of foot-and-mouth disease virus to investigate the genetic response of a variable virus when individual deleterious mutations are systematically introduced along a functionally defined region of its genome. We had previously found that the individual truncation (by mutation to alanine) of 28 of the 42 amino acid side chains per protomer involved in...
