DOI: 10.3390/v15020355
Abstract: The formation of many double-stranded DNA viruses, such as herpesviruses and bacteriophages, begins with the scaffolding-protein-mediated assembly of the procapsid. Subsequently, the procapsid undergoes extensive structural rearrangement and expansion to become the mature capsid. Bacteriophage… read more here.
