Figure 3. Characterization of reconstituted N-His-TMV CP¹⁹ virus using TEM in 10 mM PB, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.2 after 20 h at 22°C.

1 mL purified self-assembled N-His-TMV CP¹⁹ disks (1.8 mg/mL) in 10 mM PB, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.2 was mixed with 0.2 mL purified TMV RNA for 20 h at 22°C. Four TEM images of the reconstituted virus are shown in A–D.
