| Abstract: | Poliovirus virion RNA contains a single covalently bound sequence of polyadenylic acid which is approximately 49 nucleotides long. A single, slightly longer polyadenylic acid sequence is contained in Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus RNA. Since these viruses are otherwise dissimilar these sequences may play a common role in viral replication, possibly in translation of the viral RNA. |
