title: Crystallization of cauliflower mosaic virus.
abstract: Cauliflower mosaic virus has been crystallized in hanging and sitting drops. The hexagonal and octahedrally shaped crystals are up to 0.5 mm in mean diameter. The octahedrally shaped crystals diffract to about 27 A resolution. The results are discussed in relation to the lability and aggregation of the virions.
