title: Spherical viruses.
abstract: In the past two years, structural studies on spherical viruses have experienced a significant advance with the dramatic increase in the resolution attainable by cryo-electron microscopy and image reconstruction. X-ray crystallography, both alone and, increasingly, in combination with electron microscopy, continues to play a crucial role in elucidating how viruses function.
