6a7f, resolution 3.40Å Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Structural highlights 6a7f is a 30 chain structure with sequence from Salmonella phage IKe. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 3.4Å Experimental data: Check Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CAPSD_BPIKE 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).
