Abstract excerpt
Murine norovirus (MNV) undergoes large conformational changes in response to the environment. The T=3 icosahedral capsid is composed of 180 copies of ~58 kDa VP1 that has N-terminal (N), shell (S), and C-terminal protruding (P) domains. In phosphate-buffered saline, the P domains are loosely tethered to the shell and float ~15 Å above the surface. At conditions found in the gut (i.e., low pH with high metal ion...
