The monocistronic mRNA problem

• Make one monocistronic mRNA per protein
• Make a primary transcript and use alternative
  splicing
• Make a large protein and then cut it into smaller
  proteins

12
GENOME SIZE

• TAUTOMERIZATION
• PROOF READING
• RNA VIRUSES HAVE SMALL GENOMES
• 10,000 NUCLEOTIDES
• (herpesvirus DNA 200,000)

13
GENOME SIZE

• POLYMERASE
• ATTACHMENT PROTEIN
• CAPSID PROTEIN
• RELATIVELY FEW OTHER PROTEINS
• VIRION SIZE MAY BE QUITE LARGE BUT LIMITED NUMBER

HEMAGGLUTINATION

• Quick, easy, cheap
• Can use to detect virus or antibody to virus
  (hemagglutination inhibition)
• A measure of total virus particles present, not
  of infectious virus particles
