== Function == | |||
'''Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus''' (CPMV) infects black-eyed pea plants. The CPMV is composed of protein shell (capsid) and RNA. | |||
== Relevance == | |||
CPMV is used in nanotechnology due to its pH and metal ion-dependent polymorphism which can be used for delivery of small molecules. <ref>PMID:11742345</ref> | |||
