Structural Studies of Bacteriophage alpha3 Assembly, Cryo-electron microscopy
Structural highlights
1m0f is a 7 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia phage alpha3. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
SCAFD_BPPHS Assembles the procapsid by joining twelve 12S pre-assembly complex into a T=1 icosahedral particle, called 108S procapsid. Ten proteins D bind each 12S complex, which are formed by three pentamers of F, G, B protein and a H protein. The scaffolding protein is released from the provirion after genome packaging to form the mature virion.[1][2]
Evolutionary Conservation
Checkto colour the structure by Evolutionary Conservation, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
