Abstract excerpt
Initiation of translation on picornaviral RNA templates occurs via cap-independent ribosome binding to a cis-acting element, internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Mapping of the starting point of translation relative to the IRES was attempted using Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) R...
