FIG 9.

WHV and HBV have similar capsid density maps. (a) A close view of the overlay of the cryo-EM density map of the WHV capsid (EMD-9031; blue) with a calculated HBV capsid density map (PDB accession number 1QGT; yellow) shows similar structures. The HBV capsid density map was calculated to 4.5 Å based on the crystal structure of HBV capsid (PDB accession number 1QGT) using the molmap function in the UCSF Chimera software program. The position of one asymmetric dimer (ASU) of each capsid is boxed by a red rhombus. (b) Fourier shell correlation (FSC) for the WHV capsid reconstruction. The dashed line indicates a correlation of 0.143. (c) Top view of the overlay between the WHV (blue, cyan, orange, and purple) and HBV (dark gray) ASUs with the same arrangement as shown in panel a. AB and CD shows similar dimer and capsid structures.
