Bromegrass mosaic virus undergoes a reversible decrease in its sedimentation coefficient when the pH is raised above pH 6.7. At pH 6 the sedimentation coefficient is 87 S, at pH 7 it is 79 S. Intrinsic viscosities determined at pH 6 and 7 are 3.64 and 5.5 x 10(-2) dl/gm. Diffusion coefficients are 1.56 x 10(-7) cm(2)/sec. and 1.44 x 10(-7) cm(2)/sec., respectively. Radii of gyration, measured by x-ray scattering, are 106 and 128 A. However, appropriate combination of sedimentation, diffusion, and viscosity coefficients at pH 6 and 7 yield the same molecular weight. Also, the zero-angle value of x-ray-scattered intensity, which is a function of molecular weight, is the same at the two pH's. These results suggest that bromegrass mosaic virus particles undergo a pH-induced change in structure. This change causes, among other things, an increase in the susceptibility of the particles to degradation by pancreatic ribonuclease. The shape of the titration curve between pH 6.3 and 6.9 is anomalous.
