Structure of the Triatoma virus capsid

The crystallographic structure of TrV shows specific morphological and functional features that clearly distinguish it from the type species of the Cripavirus genus, CrPV.

New features of vault architecture and dynamics revealed by novel refinement using the deformable elastic network approach

Here, the re-refinement of the structure of the vault particle by incorporating the high-resolution information available for the R1-7 domains, using the deformable elastic network (DEN) approach and maintaining strict 39-fold noncrystallographic symmetry is reported.
