3D reconstruction of adenovirus type 5 [8]. The overall diameter of the particle (not including the spikes) is about 900 Å. Superposed on a surface rendering are triangles highlighting the hexon subunits. Polypeptide chains of one of the arm-like "cement" proteins (protein IX), shown as colored "worms", winds between hexons on the external surface of the particle. The other cement proteins are on the interior of the hexon shell; their locations are symbolized by magenta (protein IIIa) and orange (protein VIII) bars. Modified from [69].
