The scientific name for the tobacco mosaic virus:

Acetyl_seryl_tyrosyl_seryl_isoleucyl_threonyl_seryl_prolyl_ser yl_glutaminyl_phenyl_alanyl_valyl_phenyl_alanyl_leucyl_seryl_s eryl_valyl_tryptophyl_alanyl_aspartyl_prolyl_isoleucyl_glutamy l_leucyl_leucyl_asparaginyl_valyl_cysteinyl_threonyl_seryl_ser yl_leucyl_glycyl_asparaginyl_glutaminyl_phenyl_alanyl_glutamin yl_threonyl_glutaminyl_glutaminyl_alanyl_arginyl_threonyl_thre onyl_glutaminyl_valyl_glutaminyl_glutaminyl_phenyl_alanyl_sery l_glutaminyl_valyl_tryptophyl_lysyl_prolyl_phenyl_alanyl_proly _lglutaminyl_seryl_threonyl_valyl_arginyl_phenyl_alanyl_prolyl _glycyl_aspartyl_valyl_tyrosyl_lysyl_valyl_tyrosyl_arginyl_tyr osyl_asparaginyl_alanyl_valyl_leucyl_aspartyl_prolyl_leucyl_is oleucyl_threonyl_alanyl_leucyl_leucyl_glycyl_threonyl_phenyl_a lanyl_aspartyl_threonyl_arginyl_asparaginyl_arginyl_isoleucyl_ isoleucyl_glutamyl_valyl_glutamyl_asparaginyl_glutaminyl_gluta minyl_seryl_prolyl_threonyl_threonyl_alanyl_glutamyl_threonyl_ leucyl_aspartyl_alanyl_threonyl_arginyl_arginyl_valyl_aspartyl _aspartyl_alanyl_threonyl_valyl_alanyl_isoleucyl_arginyl_seryl _alanyl_asparaginyl_isoleucyl_asparaginyl_leucyl_valyl_asparag inyl_glutamyl_leucyl_valyl_arginyl_glycyl_threonyl_glycyl_leuc yl_tyrosyl_asparaginyl_glutaminyl_asparaginyl_threonyl_phenyl_ alanyl_glutamyl_seryl_methionyl_seryl_glycyl_leucyl_valyl_tryp tophyl_threonyl_seryl_alanyl_prolyl_alanyl_serine
