Abstract
In a previous paper [Berger et al., PNAS 91 7732,1994] a theory of virus shell formation was proposed in which shell assembly is directed by local interactions of the coat ans scaffolding subunits. This theory requires that the same chemical subunits assume different, stable conformations depending on their position in the shell.
