Abstract
|
|
|
A new cubic crystal form (a = 445.1 A) of space group P23 is reported for human
rhinovirus R14. There are four particles per unit cell, each situated on a
crystallographic 3-fold axis. The orientation of these particles has been
determined with a rotation function and their approximate positions have been
derived from a Patterson map. The crystals diffract to at least 2.8 A
resolution. Limitations to the possible surface features of the virus are set by
a comparison of the cubic and orthorhombic crystal forms.
