Abstract:
Summary Significant structural equivalence has been found among the polypeptide folds of the two tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) subunit domains and concanavalin A. This suggests gene duplication in the TBSV coat protein and leads to speculation on common functional properties of concanavalin A and viral coat proteins.Non-standard abbreviations TBSV
tomato bushy stunt virus
- SBMV
southern bean mosaic virus
