Figure 8. Molecular surfaces of polyoma and SV40 pentamers. (a)
Surface of a polyomavirus pentamer with the 5-fold symmetry
axis indicated. The branched-chain ligand of complex-2 is shown
as a ball-and-stick model. The two terminal sugars are not
shown. The surface has four pockets. The NeuNAc-(α2,3)-Gal
moiety occupies pockets 1 and 2, the (α2,6)-linked NeuNAc
occupies pocket 3. (b) SV40 surface. The surface is surprisingly
similar to that of polyoma, and the view shows that there are
pockets at roughly similar positions. Figure 8. Molecular
