Structure of epsilon15 bacteriophage reveals genome organization and DNA packaging/injection apparatus
Article Abstract:
The structure of the entire infectious Salmonella bacteriophage epsilon15 determined from single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, without icosahedral averaging is reported. The shell protein from icosahedral reconstruction at higher resolution exhibits a similar fold to that of other double-stranded DNA viruses including herpesvirus, suggesting a common ancestor among these diverse viruses.

Structure of the acrosomal bundle
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to show that twist, tilt and rotation of actinscruin subunits deviate widely from a standard F-actin filament. This variability in structural organization allows filaments to pack into a highly ordered and rigid bundle in the extended state and suggests a mechanism for storing and releasing energy between coiled and extended states without disassembly.

Backbone structure of the infectious [epsilon]15 virus capsid revealed by electron cryomicroscopy
Article Abstract:
The technique of single-particle electron cryomicroscopy is employed to explain the backbone structure of the infectious [epsilon]15 virus capsid. The virus is found to be highly stable with a high binding affinity.
