Fraction of intact protein measured in gel after inactivation by approximately 6 log10 units and in the RB-free control (no inactivation)a
| Treatment | % intact protein |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Hexon | Penton and fiber | Minor capsid | |
| UVA | 95.21 | 98.15 | 92.84 |
| UVA+RB | 72.94 | 81.64 | 80.01 |
| Full sunlight spectrum | 92.25 | 95.05 | 89.63 |
| UVC | 92.47 | 96.60 | 91.80 |
Values were measured in bands c, g, l, and q (Fig. 4). Note that the penton and fiber proteins could not be distinguished and therefore are presented jointly.
