Abstract excerpt
Norovirus is a major cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in humans. Molecular biology-based detection methods play a pivotal role in ensuring accurate and specific diagnosis. The inclusion of Qβ phage particles as armored positive controls in these assays can further enhance their reliability and specificity. Herein, we discuss rational design strategies to improve the stability of Qβ bacteriophage capsid...
