Abstract:
Robley Williams was one of many virus researchers that Franklin visited during her 1954 trip to the United States. In this letter, he responded to several of her recent articles on the probable structural configuration of TMV, as revealed by x-ray diffraction studies, and shared his own manuscript regarding an important breakthrough: he and his colleagues had been able to reconstitute a fully competent, infective tobacco mosaic virus from virus fragments.
