Abstract
Adenoviral DNA was examined within capsids by dimethyl sulfate footprinting. ProteinDNA interactions were visualized through ligationmediated PCR (LMPCR). Signals for protein binding were found adjacent to both inverted terminal repeats (ITR). There were no indications of close protein binding at several other loci of the viral genome. Therefore, adenovirus type 5 seems to contain sequence or locusspecific DNA binding proteins within the virion.
