a, b Molecular surface representations of L-BC virus. Scale bar 200 Å. a Particle surface is colored according to type of subunit within icosahedral asymmetric unit: A in blue and B in red. The borders of a selected icosahedral asymmetric unit are highlighted with a black outline. b Particle surface is rainbow-colored based on distance from particle center. Positions of selected fivefold, threefold, and twofold symmetry axes are indicated with pentagon, triangles, and oval, respectively. c Rainbow-colored molecular surface representation of L-A virus (PDB 1M1C). The rainbow scale shows the distance of the molecular surface from the particle center in Ångstroms.
