✔ Tobacco Mosaic Virus is about 300 nm long and 18nm in diameter, with a molecular weight of 39×10^6 Daltons.
✔The capsid (protein coat) is made of 2,130 Protein subunits of identical size, called Capsomeres.
✔The capsomeres are arranged in a helical manner around a central hollow space of 4 nm.
✔Each Protein subunit is made up of a single polypeptide chain which consists of 158 amino acids.
✔ Inside the protein capsid, there is a Single stranded spirally coiled RNA molecules.
The genome of TMV is Single Stranded RNA that consists 6,500 NUCLEOTIDES.
