Summary
Cricket paralysis virus RNA acted as a messenger in a translation system and directed incorporation of35S-methionine into protein. Polyacrylamide gel analysis of the proteins demonstrated the presence of proteins of comparable molecular weight to the viral structural proteins and also potential high molecular weight precursors.
