The icosahedrally averaged cryo-EM maps of Patience (A) and Adjutor (B) capsids. Both use the related Patience-like family major capsid protein and are supersized T = 7 architectures. Different parts of the capsid have been removed to highlight the important constituents of the capsids. Major capsid protein hexamers are colored blue while the pentamers are colored pink. The minor capsid proteins are colored green and the gp4 accessory protein is colored light red. On the far right, a single gp4 dimer shown in the cryo-EM density has been enlarged and displayed in the inset.
