|
The early stages of tobacco mosaic virus assembly: Tobacco mosaic virus protein aggregate binds to the RNA origin-of-assembly loop; additional aggregates now bind to the initial complex, pulling the 5' end of the RNA up through the hole in the middle of the growing virus particle. |

Three subunits of TMV, viewed at right angles to the viral axis. Ribbon representation of protein subunits; ball-and-stick model of RNA nucleotides; carboxylate side chains involved in viral disassembly shown. Discussed by Namba, K., Patanayek, R. and Stubbs, G. (1989). Visualization of protein-nucleic acid interactions in a virus. J. Mol. Biol. 208, 307-325. |

Ribbon representation of a single subunit of TMV coat protein, with carboxylate side-chains shown, and a semi-transparent electrostatic surface. |
