Abstract
|
|
|
Crystals of Mengo virus were used to collect three-dimensional X-ray diffraction
data to 7 A resolution. A self-rotation function showed the precise orientation
of the Mengo particles in the crystal unit cell. A cross-rotation function
against similar data of cubic rhinovirus crystals showed a peak when the
orientations of these two icosahedral viruses were superimposed. This
demonstrates similarity of capsid construction between two picornaviruses of
different taxonomic genera.
