Study on Biochemical Characteristics of a Capsicum Mosaic Virus
Abstract: A Capsicum Mosaic Virus(CaMV) was studied on some biochemical charaeteristics. UV-absorbance curve of viral protein at 280nm is maximum, at 260nm is minimum. The molecular weight of coat protein is 17500, consisting of 148 amino acid residues. The purified nucleic acid is confirmed as linear RNA, UV absorbance of virus RNA at 260nm is maximum, at 230nm is minimum. Polyacryamide gel electrophoresis of viral RNA showed that molecular weight is about 2×10~6. On the basis of the morphologieal structure of the v...
