Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus coast protein trimer complex with RNA (PDB entry 1cwp) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CPMV) infects black-eyed pea plants. The CPMV is composed of protein shell (capsid) and RNA. (PDB entry 1cwp). Relevance CPMV is used in nanotechnology due to its pH and metal ion-dependent polymorphism which can be used for delivery of small molecules. [1]
