Form, symmetry and packing of biomacro­molecules. III. Antigenic, receptor and contact binding sites in picornaviruses

The investigation of rhinoviruses is applied to the Picornaviridae family. The fingerprint diagrams, based on contact binding points between neighbouring molecules periodically packed in the crystal, are extended to antigenic and receptor binding sites.

Form, symmetry and packing of biomacromolecules. IV. Filled capsids of cowpea, tobacco, MS2 and pariacoto RNA viruses

The molecular crystallographic properties of four RNA viruses are discussed.

Form, symmetry and packing of biomacromolecules. V. Shells with boundaries at anti-nodes of resonant vibrations in icosahedral RNA viruses

Periodic shells in icosahedral RNA viruses are interpreted in terms of a resonator model.
