Fig. 3: Gp4 interaction with major capsid proteins.

The left-hand side shows the underside of a single hexamer capsomer from the Patience and Adjutor bacteriophages. The right-hand side shows a single copy of gp4 and how it interacts with the different major capsid proteins of the hexamer. The major capsid proteins are numbered for comparison with Supplementary Table 3 and Supplementary Table 4, which show the number of interactions and buried surface area.
