Knowledge of the structure and function of the genes and proteins of the rotaviruses has
expanded rapidly. Information obtained in the last 5 years has revealed unexpected and …

▪ Abstract Genetic analyses have contributed significantly to our understanding of the
biology of the rotaviruses. The distinguishing feature of the virus is a genome consisting of …

Abstract Analysis of data from experimentally determined antigenic sites on proteins has
revealed that the hydrophobic residues Cys, Leu and Val, if they occur on the surface of a …

The rotavirus gene segment coding for the major outer capsid glycoprotein vp7 was
amplified directly from stool specimens by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Double …

Protein structural flexibility is important for catalysis, binding, and allostery. Flexibility has
been predicted from amino acid sequence with a sliding window averaging technique and …

SUMMARY VP-2b, a major structural protein of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), and
its precursor protein VP-2a were separated in a soluble form from the supernatant of …

A new seminested PCR typing assay has been extended to identify the important veterinary
rotavirus serotypes G5, G6, G10, and G11, as well as the rare human serotype G8. The …

During 2013, a novel equine-like G3P [8] rotavirus emerged as the dominant strain in
Australian children with severe rotavirus gastroenteritis. Full genome analysis demonstrated …

Rotavirus contains two outer capsid viral proteins, the spike protein VP4 and major capsid
component VP7, both of which are implicated in cell entry. We show that VP4 and VP7 …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoproteins are highly glycosylated, with up to 5 and 11
N-linked glycans on E1 and E2, respectively. Most of the glycosylation sites on HCV …
