Protein Components of Encephalomyocarditis Virus

Nature volume 215, pages 1350–1352 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

Chemical and physical studies of protein extracted from highly purified EMC virus suggest that at least three sorts of polypeptide chain are present in EMC and perhaps other picornaviruses. They may therefore differ fundamentally in structure from icosahedral plant viruses of similar size, such as TYMV.
