Abstract excerpt
An understanding of virion assembly and disassembly requires a detailed understanding of the protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions which stabilize the virion. We have characterized a mutant of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) that is altered in virion stability. The mutant virions resist disassembly in 1.0 M NaCl, pH 7.5, whereas the wild-type virions completely disassociate into RNA and...
