Abstract

Small-angle neutron scattering from solutions of small RNA viruses has been used to study protein-nucleic acid organisation. In the five viruses investigated the RNA is confined to a sphere of about 100 A radius, with a central hole (with one possible exception). The interpenetration of RNA and protein varies with viruses and seems to be related to the natrue of the forces stabilising the virus.

摘要

从小RNA病毒溶液中进行的小角中子散射已被用于研究蛋白质 - 核酸组织。在所研究的五种病毒中，RNA被限制在半径约100埃的球体中，有一个中心孔（可能有一个例外）。RNA和蛋白质的相互渗透因病毒而异，似乎与稳定病毒的力的性质有关。
