RNA Packaging Motor: From Structure to Quantum Mechanical Modelling and Sequential-Stochastic Mechanism
The bacteriophages of the Cystoviridae family package their single stranded RNA genomic precursors into empty capsid (procapsids) using a hexameric packaging ATPase motor (P4). This molecular motor shares sequence and structural similarity with RecA-like hexameric helicases. A concerted structural,...
