Abstract excerpt
Under conditions of low ionic strength and a pH ranging between about 3.7 and 5.0, solutions of purified coat proteins of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) form spherical multishell structures in the absence of viral RNA. The outer surfaces of the shells in these structures are negatively charged, whereas the inner surfaces are positively charged due to a disordered cationic N-terminal domain of the capsid...
