Type: | Domain | Name: | Picornavirus capsid |
Description: | This domain occurs in the capsid proteins of picornaviruses, which are non-enveloped plus-strand ssRNA animal viruses with icosahedral capsids. They include rhinovirus (common cold) and poliovirus.The atomic structure of echovirus 1 (a member of the enterovirus genus of the picornavirus family) has been determined using cryo-crystallography and refined to 3.55 A resolution []. The common structure is an 8-stranded beta sandwich which can have one or two extra strands. | Short Name: | Picornavirus_capsid |
