title: The assembly of barrel cactus virus protein.
abstract: The coat protein of barrel cactus virus, a member of the potexvirus family, self-assembles into long tubular particles in the absence of the RNA. The particles have the same structure as the virus. The conditions under which they form suggest a new control mechanism not involving carboxyl-carboxylate interactions.
