The structure of the capsid inner layer of reoviruses. Brief report.
It is shown that reovirus capsid inner layer consists of 132 capsomeres with a skewed icosahedral pattern of T = 13 (left). 780 structural units composing capsomeres are integrated into trimers. The boundary between capsomeres runs between the structural units forming trimers.
