Fig. 3: Pore sizes based on available CRYO-EM data and measured effective pores sizes of P22.
From: Molecular exclusion limits for diffusion across a porous capsid
a–c Estimated pore dimensions of procapsid (PC) (a), expanded (EX) (b), and wiffle-ball (WB) (c) using Chimera software program. d Reduction of acetoin using NADH conjugate as a cofactor and AdhD as a catalyst. e Plot showing kcat ratio using enzymes AdhD-SP (free) to encapsulated in PC (red), EX (green), and WB (blue) . f Aqueous pore model fit of kcat ratio data and estimated pore sizes for PC and EX; inset: sigmoidal fit and estimated pore sizes of 4.4 and 2.7 nm for PC and EX, respectively. Horizontal errors bars (n = 3) are the standard deviation values for the hydrodynamic radii. Vertical errors bars (n = 3) reflect the standard deviation for the turnover values (kcat).
