Abstract

SUMMARY

X-ray and optical diffraction evidence is given which indicates that the particle of clover yellow mosaic virus has a helical structure of pitch 3.4 nm which repeats in approx. 11 turns with 11q — 2 subunits in the true repeat and with the value of q most likely to be 9. The position of the nucleic acid at 3.6 nm from the axis of the particle is deduced from the low resolution X-ray diffraction pattern.
