| Comments | "Both types of particles [infectious 114S & non-infectious 70S] can be crystallized into isomorphous monoclinic crystals with space group P2[1] and cell dimensions a=305.6, b=360.8, c=299.5Å, ß=92.89° that diffract at least to 2.6-Å resolution (ref 33). The asymetric unit of the crystal cell contains one complete particle. [Researchers] report here the three-dimensional structure determination of fX174 and its implication for viral functions." These are cell dimensions |
