Protein interfaces and intersubunit bonding. The case of tomato bushy stunt virus.

PMCID: PMC1327273  PMID: 7248446

Abstract

An atomic model of the subunit of tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) has been constructed to fit an electron density map at 2.9 A resolution. Subunit interfaces show networks of polar residues forming H-bonds and salt bridges. The way in which alternative specific bonding geometries are built into a contact are described.
