"Viral Genome Packaging: Genetics, Structure, and Mechanism" offers a comprehensive examination of the genome packaging process within a pre-formed viral procapsid. Each chapter addresses the biochemical, enzymological, and structural aspects of the genome packaging machinery. The book establishes a broad mechanistic foundation for this process, encompassing both prokaryotic and eukaryotic viruses as well as DNA and RNA viruses. The detailed analysis of the biochemical, biophysical, and structural characteristics of genome packaging makes this work a valuable resource for professionals and students in the fields of virology, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
