Abstract excerpt
The reovirus outer capsid protein μ1 forms a lattice surrounding the viral core. In the native state, μ1 determines the environmental stability of the viral capsid. Additionally, during cell entry, μ1 undergoes structural rearrangements that facilitate delivery of the viral cores across the membrane. To determine how the capsid-stabilizing functions of μ1 impinge on the capacity of μ1 to undergo conformational...
