Figure 1. The Chiral Nature of the L-A Virus Capsid.

Figure 1

A visualization of the actual crystal structure data is shown on the right (PDB ID: 1M1C). An artificial mirror image (“enantiomorph”) is shown on the left. The orientation of the two units outlined in red shows that the capsid assembly scaffold (indicated by the green colored subunits) possesses a definite handedness.
