The potential use of pRNA hexamers as polyvalent gene delivery vectors. Six copies of pRNA have been found to form a hexameric ring to drive the DNA-packaging motor of bacterial virus φ29. There would therefore be six positions available to carry foreign moieties for targeting, therapy, and detection.
