Abstract
Theaflavins, the oxidized products formed from tea leaf catechins during black tea fermentation, showed an antiviral activity on TMV. From the survey of the interactions of theaflavins with RNA and its related substances, it was presumed that theaflavins disturbed the replication cycle of TMV through binding to TMV-RNA.
