Sumf is the mean density height averaged over all atoms where the maximum density is scaled to have a value of 100; clash is the number of atoms in one molecule that approach closer than 6 A to another, symmetry-related molecule; –den are the number of atoms in negative density; theta 1 is the angle of rotation about the 2-fold axis; cent (x, y, z) is the position in the map onto which is placed the center of gravity of the TBEV E dimer (see Figure 1 for the definition of the coordinate system); D1, D2, D3 are the sumf values (the average atom density relative to the highest density of 100.0 in the map) for each of the three domains; down and up refer to the orientation of the dimer axis along the icosahedral axis; + and − refer to the assumed hand of the cryoEM map. The best fit is shown in each case.
