Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CPMV) infects black-eyed pea plants. The CPMV is composed of protein shell (capsid) and RNA. CPMV is used in nanotechnology due to its pH and metal ion-dependent polymorphism which can be used for delivery of small molecules.
