FIGURE 1. Prominent structural features of poliovirus.

FIGURE 1

Prominent structural features on the exterior of a surface-rendered 160S poliovirus particle (17) are labeled. The expanded representation shows the core β-jellyroll subunit and BC loop of VP1 (2). The BC loop (cyan) is between β-strands B and C (orange) and is located at the tip of the star-shaped “mesa”. In the surface rendering, purple signifies features closest to the center of the particle, and white represents features farthest from the center.
