Glycoproteins of measles virus under reducing and nonreducing conditions.

J M Hardwick, R H Bussell
PMCID: PMC353982  PMID: 625090

Abstract

Measles virus has two glycoproteins. The larger glycoprotein (HA) is composed of 76,000-dalton subunits that are bound by disulfide bonds. The smaller glycoprotein (F) appears to contain a glucosamine-rich portion that is linked to an unglycosylated protein by disulfide bonds.
