Abstract excerpt
A method to identify mutations of virus proteins by using protein mass mapping is described. Comparative mass mapping was applied to a structural protein of the human rhinovirus Cys1199 --> Tyr mutant and to genetically engineered mutants of tobacco mosaic virus. The information generated from th...
