CroV reconstruction

Description:

Description: English: Cryo-EM reconstruction of the CroV virion and capsomer arrangements of other giant icosahedral viruses. (A) Reconstruction of the CroV capsid. The isosurface of the map was colored by pentasymmetrons (purple) and trisymmetrons (blue, red, green, cyan and orange). One of the 30 edges of the icosahedron is marked by a cyan line. Two surface areas (a,b) are magnified and selected capsomers are labeled by yellow triangles to show their orientations. (B–E) Isolated icosahedral faces of CroV, PBCV-1, CIV and PpV01 capsids are shown schematically. Their T-numbers, asymmetric unit capsomer numbers, and trisymmetron capsomer numbers are listed. 5-fold, 3-fold, and 2-fold symbols are indicated in red and ASUs are outlined in blue.
