title: Influence of a few coat protein subunits on the base-paired structure of 3'-terminal fragments of RNA 4 of alfalfa mosaic virus.
abstract: In contrast to expectation (Srinivasan, S. and Jaspars, E.M.J. (1978) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 520, 237-241) differentiated thermal melting profiles and fluorescence measurements show that the coat protein of alfalfa mosaic virus has a negligible effect on the base-paired structure of isolated 3'-terminal fragments (length about 90 nucleotides) of the coat protein messenger RNA (RNA 4) of this virus.
