FIG. 2.

Surface representations of 3D image reconstructions of empty wild-type, ΔVP1, and ΔVP2 capsids including standard deviations. Standard deviations were calculated for wild-type, ΔVP1, and ΔVP2 empty capsids each, as well as for the combinations wild type with ΔVP1 and wild type with ΔVP2 as described in Materials and Methods. These standard deviations were used to color code the surface representations of the individual reconstructions (A through C) or, in the case of combinations, the reconstruction of wild-type capsids (D and E). Features with larger differences appear red, whereas smaller differences are shown in yellow. Mapped are part of the outer surface (left) and part of the inner surface (right). The view is always direct down a twofold symmetry axis.
