Figure 1: Overview of enterovirus conformational states.

(a) Mature EV71 virion (PDB code 3VBF)14, the upper panel shows the surface of the particle colour coded by radius (key shown as a coloured bar), the lower panel shows electron density in the same view in the vicinity of an icosahedral two-fold axis (the approximate region shown is shaded in the top panel). The icosahedral five-fold axes are joined by a wireframe in the upper panel with a kite-shaped icosahedral unit outlined. In the lower panel the white ellipse marks the icosahedral two-fold axis. (b) Equivalent views for the EV71 80S-like particle (PDB code 3VBR) (ref. 14). (c) Equivalent views for the CAV16 135S-like particle. Note that in c the N-terminal residues of VP1 are shown in magenta in the top panel and in yellow in the bottom panel, to make them stand out.
