Figure 5. Density map for rice dwarf virus P8 capsid protein shown as a mesh (left). The map was obtained by electron cryo-microscopy and has 6.8-Å resolution.49 Computationally identified alpha helices are shown as cylinders50 and the connecting turns have been hand traced using Chimera’s Volume Path Tracer. On the right is a crystal structure of the distantly related bluetongue virus capsid protein (1bvp51).
