Abstract excerpt
Inovirus (filamentous bacteriophage) is a simple system for studying the rules by which protein primary structure (amino acid sequence) controls secondary and higher order structure, and thereby function. The virus occurs naturally as a number of different strains with similar secondary and higher order structure, but the protein subunit that assembles to form the virion coat has quite different primary...
