Messenger RNA for the coat protein of tobacco mosaic virus.

TMV RNA is not an efficient template for translation of the viral coat protein, in spite of containing nucleotide sequences coding for the protein. Efficient translation requires the prior synthesis within infected cells of a smaller RNA carrying only a portion of the information encoded in the whole genome.     

The occurrence of reducible compounds in an invertebrate structure protein ofBuccinum undatum (L.)

Summary Reducible compounds, probably similar to lysine-derived cross-links found in collagen and elastin, have been detected in an invertebrate scleroprotein, the egg case ofBuccinum undatum (L.)During this studyN. R. Price was in receipt of an S.R.C. research assistantship.
