Abstract excerpt

Tobacco mosaic virus mutant PM2 contains two amino acid changes in coat protein sequence relative to the sequence of the coat protein of TMV U1. This results in unstable infectivity, inability to cause normal systemic infection, and accumulation of elongated open helixes of coat protein. Using si...
