Abstract

Tobacco ringspot virus belongs to the nepovirus group of the small spherical plant viruses. It has been suggested that the protein capsid, which displays icosahedral symmetry, consists of 240 protein subunits which are arranged on a T = 4 surface lattice. The virus crystallizes in orthorhombic space group P212121 ( a = 388Å, b=396Å and c=405Å). The unit cell contains four virus particles while the crystallographic asymmetric unit consists of one complete virion. X-ray diffraction data from the crystals extend to at least 3.3 Å resolution.
