Viral Genome Packaging: Genetics, Structure, and Mechanism

Viral Genome Packaging: Genetics, Structure, and Mechanism
by Carlos .E. Catalano (Editor)

Product Details:
* Hardcover: 153 pages
* Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (May 19, 2005)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0306482274

Book Description
Viral Genome Packaging focuses on the process of genome "packaging" within a pre-formed viral procapsid. The chapters of this book concentrate on the biochemistry, enzymology and structural aspects of the genome packaging machinery. This book defines a broad mechanistic basis for the process across the prokaryotic and eukaryotic border, and for DNA and RNA viruses. The biochemical, biophysical and structural aspects of genome packaging are examined in detail.
