This book provides up-to-date information on experimental and computational characterization of the structural and functional properties of viral proteins,which are widely involved in regulatory and signaling processes. With chapters by leading research groups, it features current information on the structural and functional roles of intrinsic disorders in viral proteomes. It systematically addresses the measles, HIV, influenza, potato virus, forest virus, bovine virus, hepatitis, and rotavirus as well as viral genomics. After analyzing the unique features of each class of viral proteins, future directions for research and disease management are presented. INDICE: Preface. 1. Do viral proteins possess unique features? (Vladimir Uversky). 2. Functional role of structural disorder in capsid proteins (Lars Liljas). 3.

Intrinsic disorderwithin phage » N protein and interaction with the E. coli NusA protein (Kristian Schweimer). 17. The N-terminal extension region of Hordeivirus movement TGB1 protein consists of two domains with different content of disordered structure (V.V. Makarov, M.E. Tailansky, E.N. Dobrov, N.O. Kalinina).
