- Abstract
- The structure of the U2 strain of tobacco mosaic virus
(TMV) has been determined by fiber diffraction methods at
3.5 A resolution, and refined by a combination of
restrained least-squares and molecular dynamics methods to
an R-factor of 0.096. The structure is extremely similar to
that of the common strain of TMV, with the largest
differences being in the protein loop that makes up the
inner surface of the virus, and in the C-terminal region on
the outer surface. Differences in the inner loop can be
correlated with differences in the properties of the two
viruses.
