Abstract:
The aggregation process of Newcastle disease virus matrix protein (M protein) has been studied using light scattering. We observed that the aggregation of M protein is inversely correlated with ionic strength and that this process can be reversed by high salt concentrations. It was found that the oligomeric structure of NDV matrix protein is different from those described earlier for other matrix proteins of enveloped viruses.
