Abstract
The role of electrostatic repulsion and van der Waals'' attraction in determining interviral spacings in equilibrium gels of tobacco mosaic virus [proteins] was examined. The observed spacings are inconsistent with a force-balance model. Experimental probes of the role of forces are suggested.Keywords
