3D structures of polyhedrin
Updated on 03-June-2026
Polyhedrin is a viral protein in cytoplasmic polyhedrosis viruses which parasitize insects. Polyhedrin forms a protective layer around a virus and resists its solubilization and thus ensures its long-term viability[1]. RelevancePolyhedrins protect viruses which cause disease in silkworm[2]. Structural highlightsThe biological assembly of Uranotaenia sapphirina cypovirus Polyhedrin is homotrimer (PDB code 4s1k). ATP binding site[3]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. Mg coordination site.
