title: Viruses.
abstract: The structures of the components of large and complex viruses, determined over the past year, have demonstrated the great variation in the ways in which viruses achieve their goals. The structure of the bluetongue virus coat protein provides clues as to how a T = 13 particle is assembled and the structure of the tick-borne encephalitis envelope protein suggests a new way of exposing a membrane fusion peptide at the right moment.
