M. Stampfer coauthored with D. Baltimore and A. S. Huang a 1970 experiment demonstrating RNA-synthesizing activity in vesicular stomatitis virus virions. The finding connects virion composition with biochemical function: the particles carried an active RNA polymerase, not just RNA and structural proteins. The paper reports a collaborative result; its byline does not assign individual experimental duties.[ref]
