Estimates of the mol. wts. of the proteins were 40000 (ELV) and 42000 (TBSV), and the estimates of the mol. wts. of the nucleic acids were 1.55 × 106 (ELV), and 1.8 × 106 (TBSV). Buoyant densities in caesium chloride were 1.363 g/cm3 (ELV) and 1.348 g/cm3 (TBSV). To account for differences in sedimentation coefficient and in buoyant density between ELV and TBSV, and in comparison with the structure of 180 + 12 protein subunits proposed for TBSV, we suggest that the most likely number of protein subunits in particles of ELV is 120., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-19-2-245
