Visualization of Tegument-Capsid Interactions and DNA in Intact Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Virions
- BiologyJournal of Virology
- 1999
Herpes simplex virus type 1 virions were examined by electron cryomicroscopy, allowing the three-dimensional structure of the infectious particle to be visualized for the first time, suggesting a spool model for DNA packaging, similar to that for some bacteriophages.

The discovery of hydrogen bonds in DNA and a re-evaluation of the 1948 Creeth two-chain model for its structure
- BiologyBiochemical Society transactions
- 2018
Analysis of Creeth's model of DNA structure shows that his incorporation of alternating breaks in the two-chain structure was not necessary to explain the viscosity data on scission of hydrogen bonds after titrating to high or low pH, and a tentative model for DNA proposed by Gulland's and D.O.Gulland is considered.
A Speculative History of DNA: What If Oswald Avery Had Died in 1934?
