Figure 1 The rotavirus triple-layered virion. VP4 and VP7 make
up the outer capsid, which constitutes the entry apparatus. The
RNA, VP2 and VP6 are the major structural components of the
double-layered particle, which is the transcriptionally active
core. The line drawing is based on an electron
cryomicroscopy-based reconstruction (Yeager et al., 1990).
