Three-dimensional structure determination of capsid of Aedes albopictus C6/36 cell densovirus.
The three-dimensional structure of capsid of Aedes albopictus C6/36 densovirus was determined to 14-A resolution by electron cryomicroscopy and computer reconstruction. The triangulation number of the capsid is 1. There are 12 holes in each triangular face and a spike on each 5-fold vertex. The validity of the capsid and nucleic acid densities in the reconstructions was discussed.
