Description for Cell Entry by Non-Enveloped Viruses
Paperback. This book examines the means by which non-enveloped viruses penetrate cellular membranes during cell entry. It will help elucidate the mechanisms of non-enveloped virus membrane penetration in general. Editor(s): Johnson, John E. Series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology. Num Pages: 244 pages, 4 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: MJCM; MMFM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 379.
The means by which non-enveloped viruses penetrate cellular membranes during cell entry remain poorly defined. Recent findings indicate several members of this group share a common mechanism of membrane penetration in which the virus particle undergoes programmed conformational changes, leading to capsid disassembly and release of small membrane-interacting peptides. A complete understanding of host cell entry by this minimal system will help elucidate the mechanisms of non-enveloped virus membrane penetration in general

Reviews for Cell Entry by Non-Enveloped Viruses
From the reviews: “This book contains detailed, up-to-date descriptions of cellular entry mechanisms of non-enveloped viruses, such as ssRNA viruses (nodavirus, picornavirus, calicivirus), dsRNA viruses (orthoreovirus, rotavirus), ssDNA viruses (parvovirus) and dsDNA viruses (polyomavirus, adenovirus). … The book is strongly recommended to established virologists, molecular and structural biologists, and young scientists working in these areas.” (Ulrich Desselberger, Microbiology Today, ...
