B. J. M. Verduin, B. Prescott, and G. J. Thomas, Jr.* abstract: Laser Raman spectroscopy of the cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) in native (pH 5.0) and partially swollen (pH 7.5) states reveals the presence of small percentages of protonated adenine (< 15%) and cytosine (< 7%) bases in the encapsidated RNA molecule of the native virion. The pro-tonated bases are titrated with pH-inducedswelling of the virus. Titration of putative COOH groups of aspartic and glutamic side chains of the virion subunit cannot be detected over the same pH range, which suggests that carboxyl anions (C02~) and protonated bases are both available at pH 5 to stabilize the ribonucleoprotein particles by electrostatic interactions. The highly (95%) ordered secondary structure of encapsidated RNA may undergo a small additional increase (< 3%) inordered structure with release from the virion, suggesting at most a marginal structure-distorting influence
