Satellite tobacco necrosis virus structure at 4.0 Å resolution

Nature volume 285, pages 373–377 (1980)Cite this article

Abstract

An electron density map of satellite tobacco necrosis virus at 4.0 Å resolution was obtained using single isomorphous replacement and phase refinement by icosahedral averaging. Near the N-terminus the polypeptide chain is a three-turn helix, in contact with 3-fold related helices, extending towards the particle centre. The protein subunit has at least one twisted β-sheet.
