Asymmetric structure of bacteriophage MS2 (green–blue radially coloured) shows the AP (yellow) (a), which replaces one CP dimer (b). Inside the protein capsid a structured genome (grey) is present (c) that is connected to the AP (d). The reconstruction shows the double-stranded helices in the stem loop structures (e). At some positions individual NA's connecting to the capsid are resolved, as shown by fitting of the X-ray structure of the 19-nucleotide TR (magenta) bound to the capsid (blue) (pdb:1ZDH) in the EM density (grey) (f). Scale bar is 100Å.
