The kinetics of swelling of southern bean mosaic virus: a study using photon correlation spectroscopy.
Southern bean mosaic virus swells upon removal of Ca2+ at pH 8.25. Virions do not seem to aggregate significantly; the z-average hydrodynamic diameter increases from 29.9 nm to 44.0 nm. Swelling is virtually complete within 3 min, and swollen virions have a z-average hydrodynamic diameter similar to that of virions swollen by dialysis overnight.
