Viral Genome Packaging: Genetics, Structure, and Mechanism

Herausgegeben:Catalano, Carlos E.

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Viral Genome Packaging focuses on the process of genome "packaging" within a pre-formed viral procapsid. The chapters of this book concentrate on the biochemistry, enzymology and structural aspects of the genome packaging machinery. This book defines a broad mechanistic basis for the process across the prokaryotic and eukaryotic border, and for DNA and RNA viruses. The biochemical, biophysical and structural aspects of genome packaging are examined in detail.
