Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage phi6 is a complex enveloped double-stranded RNA virus with a segmented genome and replication strategy quite similar to that of the Reoviridae. An in vitro packaging and replication system using purified components is available. The positive-polarity genomic segments are translocated into a preformed polymerase complex (procapsid) particle. This particle is composed of four proteins: the...
