Rhodanine resistance and dependence of echovirus 12: a possible consequence of capsid flexibility.

Abstract excerpt

Recombinant viruses of echovirus 12 carrying mutations of a rhodanine-resistant or -dependent variant, were investigated, and five single mutations each inducing a rhodanine-resistant or -dependent phenotype were defined. Four mutations are localized in the capsid protein VP1, and the fifth exchange is in VP4. All original and recombinant viruses were shown to be stabilized by the antiviral drug rhodanine against...
