External Virus Capsid Resources
- Molecule of the Month at the RCSB PDB offers:
- 200 Icosahedral Viruses from the PDB offers a poster with virus capsids arranged by size, and colored by the number of protein chains/capsid (60 to 8,280). The poster is available with or without PDB codes.
- Adenovirus Capsid has long fibers extending from its vertices.
- HIV Capsid.
- HPV: Human Papillomavirus and Vaccines.
- Paper models of viruses can be constructed using instructions provided.
- Quasisymmetry in Icosahedral Viruses explains how icosahedral capsids of different sizes assemble from copies of a single subunit protein chain, and explains triangulation numbers with examples.
- VIPERdb / VIrus Particle ExploreR database includes:
- Static images of virus capsids organized by taxa.
- The Virion Section of the ViralZone offers schematics for triangulation numbers with links to virus taxa, UniProt, etc. See also Browse by Virion.
