Abstract

Summary

Circular dichroism spectra showed that the RNA of southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV) has considerable base pairing and that the protein subunit has a higher proportion of β-structure than of α-helix. A specific feature of the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of SBMV at 230 nm appears to be related to the binding of divalent cations to the virion; Ca affects this CD spectral feature at a lower concentration than does Mg or Sr. The CD spectra are compared with those of turnip rosette virus (TRosV), another member of the SBMV group.
