Viral Genome Packaging: Genetics, Structure, and Mechanism

Viral Genome Packagingfocuses on the process of genome "packaging" within a pre-formed viral procapsid. The chapters of this bookconcentrate on the biochemistry, enzymology and structural aspects of the genome packaging machinery. This bookdefines 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.
