Fig. 4: Comparison of the interaction networks between penton and hexon capsomers in different herpesviruses.
From: Cryo-EM structure of the varicella-zoster virus A-capsid
a Overview of the contacting interface between penton and hexon capsomers as viewed from outside or inside of the capsid. The four MCP conformers involved in interactions are highlighted in different colors. b–g Close-up views of the interactions between penton and hexon MCPs. The motifs involved in contacts are shown in solid colors, and the rest parts of the subunits are set transparent for clarity. The unresolved regions in the structure are represented by dashed lines. The insets show the zoomed-in inside (left panel) and outside (right panel) views of the central interaction details.
