sirv2 การใช้

• SIRV2 can act as a template for site-selective and spatially controlled chemical modification.
• A three-dimensional reconstruction of the SIRV2 virion at ~ 4 angstrom resolution has been obtained by cryo electron microscopy.
• Both the ends and the body of the virus, or the ends only, can be chemically addressed, thus SIRV2 can be regarded as a structurally unique nanobuilding block.
• The structure revealed a previously unknown form of virion organization, in which the alpha-helical major capsid protein of SIRV2 wraps around the DNA, making it inaccessible to solvent.
• Both " Sulfolobus islandicus " rod-shaped viruses are stiff rods of about 23 nm in width, but differing in length SIRV1 is about 830 nm and SIRV2 is about 900 nm long.
