Membrane-bound structure of the Pf1 major coat protein in DHPC micelleMembrane-bound structure of the Pf1 major coat protein in DHPC micelle
Structural highlights
FunctionCAPSD_BPPF1 Self assembles to form a helical capsid wrapping up the viral genomic DNA. The capsid displays a filamentous structure with a length of 760-1950 nm and a width of 6-8 nm. The virion assembly and budding take place at the host inner membrane (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedAt pH > 6 added filamentous bacteriophage fd is compatible with many of the detergents used to solubilize membrane proteins for solution NMR studies of membrane proteins and, therefore, serves as an alignment media. In combination with strained polyacrylamide gel alignment, Dipolar Waves can be used to directly assess the secondary structure and a lambda-map extracts the order tensors for de novo structure calculation of membrane proteins without distance restraints.
