Figure 1. Distribution of double-helical RNA segments in the STMV virion.

Figure 1

The crystal structure of STMV [4] reveals 30 segments of double-helical RNA (blue). Each helix contains 9 base pairs, centered on a crystallographic two-fold axis. An icosahedral cage (pink) is shown for reference. Adopted from [8].
