Abstract excerpt

Particles of several symptom-modulating TCV coat protein (CP) mutants were pretreated at pH 5.5, 7.5 or 8.5 and their conformations compared by agarose gel electrophoresis to those of wild-type particles. Particles of two mutants were swollen under conditions in which wild-type particles remained...
