Figure 4

Structure of gp65-minus mutant virus. (a) Surface representation of the asymmetric reconstruction of gp65-minus mutant virus showing a side view (left) and an end-on view looking down the long axis of the phage (right). The color scheme is the same as in Figure 3. One icosahedral asymmetric unit is outlined in black. The scale bar represents 300 Å. (b) Central cross-section of the asymmetric reconstruction of gp65-minus virus. (c) Tilted view of the tail for the 6-fold-averaged gp65-minus virus (left) and an end-on view (right). (d) Difference map calculated between asymmetric reconstructions of wild-type and gp65-minus viruses showing the non-contractile tail sheath (gp65).
