Self-assembly of brome mosaic virus capsids. Kinetic study using neutron and X-ray solution scattering

M Cuillel et al. J Mol Biol. .

Abstract

The self-assembly of brome mosaic virus capsid has been studied kinetically by means of X-ray and neutron scattering. It appears to be a very fast process: for the concentrations used (5 to 8 mg/ml) the forward scattering reaches 50% of its maximal value in less than one second. Further, the assembly seems to proceed through intermediate states whose nature is still speculative.
