Figure 6: Narrowing of pocket opening in rsVLPs.

Cartoon and surface representation of the capsid region surrounding the canyon and pocket. A) The approximate position of the displayed region in the context of an asymmetric unit is shown with a 50° rotation along the y-axis relative to the position shown in the panels on the right. B) The approximate position of the mouth of the pocket depicted as a pink ellipse relative to the floor of the canyon (green line) in the context of a protomer. Cartoon and surface representation of the capsid region surrounding the canyon and pocket within C) NAg virus and D) rsVLPs. Cartoon representation displaying pocket factor (teal), VP1 D110 and VP1 K162 or I162 as sticks. For clarity, the local surface is represented in both greyscale (middle) and coloured with respect to local atoms (right), oxygen; red, nitrogen; blue, sulphur; yellow.
