Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The coat protein in RNA bacteriophages binds and encapsidates viral RNA, and also acts as translational repressor of viral replicase by binding to an RNA hairpin in the RNA genome. Because of its dual function, the MS2 coat protein is an interesting candidate for structural studies of...
