Interaction of TMV-proteins during electrophoretic separation in polyacrylamide gels

  • Published:
Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The technique of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was applied to demonstrate interaction between proteins of different strains of tobacco mosaic virus. The advantages and limitations of the method for such studies have been indicated. The results are discussed in connection with the role of primary structure of TMV-proteins for mixed aggregations.
