Grimes, J.M., Burroughs, J.N., Gouet, P., Diprose, J.M., Malby, R.,
Zientara, S., Mertens, P.P.C. and Stuart, D.I. (1998). The atomic structure of the
bluetongue virus core.
Nature 395(6701): 470-478. Abstract: The structure of the core particle of bluetongue virus has been determined by X-ray crystallography at a resolution approaching 3.5 A. This transcriptionally active compartment 700 A in diameter represents the largest molecular structure determined in such detail. The atomic structure indicates how approximately 1,000 protein components self-assemble using both the classical mechanism of quasi-equivalent contacts which are achieved through triangulatlon and a different method which we term geometrical quasi-equivalence. |
