(11) We conclude that the hexon protrusions are domains of VP5 hexamers, other parts of these molecules forming the basic matrix of the capsid shell to which the other proteins are attached at specific sites.
(12) To identify the latter, peptides were synthesized corresponding to residues 281 to 292 from loop 1 and 441 to 455 from loop 2 of the Ad2 hexon.
(13) In the early phase of the crystallization, groups of a few hexons began to appear, then the two-dimensional crystal lattices grew gradually to a size of 1-2 micron.
(14) Several primers, including primers specific for the hexon-coding region and for enteric adenovirus types 40 and 41, were evaluated.
(15) In contrast to this, the native capsomer (hexon) of Ad h 1 kappa exhibited lower electrophoretic mobility in agarose gel electrophoresis than the native hexon of Ad h 1B.
(16) The trypsinolysis of native SA7 hexon leads to a stable molecular "core" containing 4-5 fragment species of 10 to 65 kDa and resembling the intact capsomer in quarternary structure (trimer).
(17) The isolated antibodies showed a specific neutralizing capacity five times higher than that of the corresponding unfractionated polyclonal anti-hexon serum; however, the neutralizing ability was independent of pH.
(18) According to this criterion for chemical relatedness, about two-thirds of the type 2 and 5 hexon peptides may be considered similar.
(19) Peptides with identical isoelectric points, but from different hexon types, were considered to have structural similarities.
(20) Comparative studies showed no physico-chemical, immunological or electron microscopic differences between soluble hexons of extracellular and intracellular origin.
Liquid
Definition:

(a.) Being in such a state that the component parts move freely among themselves, but do not tend to separate from each other as the particles of gases and vapors do; neither solid nor aeriform; as, liquid mercury, in distinction from mercury solidified or in a state of vapor.
(a.) Flowing or sounding smoothly or without abrupt transitions or harsh tones.
(a.) Pronounced without any jar or harshness; smooth; as, l and r are liquid letters.
(a.) Fluid and transparent; as, the liquid air.
(a.) Clear; definite in terms or amount.
(n.) A substance whose parts change their relative position on the slightest pressure, and therefore retain no definite form; any substance in the state of liquidity; a fluid that is not aeriform.
(n.) A letter which has a smooth, flowing sound, or which flows smoothly after a mute; as, l and r, in bla, bra. M and n also are called liquids.
