Examples of remediated PDB entries with regular noncrystallographic symmetry. (a) 1f2n , yellow mottle virus with icosahedral symmetry (Qu et al., 2000BB28). (b) 4rhv , rhinovirus with icosahedral symmetry (Arnold & Rossmann, 1988BB1). In (a) and (b), the icosahedral asymmetric unit is shown in ribbon representation. (c) 2bk1 , viral toxin pneumolysin with C38 circular symmetry (Tilley et al., 2005BB32). (d) 1f2n , clathrin cage with D6 symmetry (Fotin et al., 2006BB11). (e) 1ei7 , tobacco mosaic virus coat protein four-layer aggregate with D17 symmetry (Bhyravbhatla et al., 1998BB4). (f) 1cgm , cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) with helical symmetry (Wang & Stubbs, 1994BB35). Nucleic acid positions are shown in green and red. (g) 1ifd , filamentous phage with helical symmetry and fivefold circular symmetry (Marvin, 1990BB23). Each color represents a strand winding about the helical axis. (h) 1m4x , P. bursaria chorella virus type 1 (PBCV-1) algal virus shell (Nandhagopal et al., 2002BB25). Colors highlight pentasymmetron units (cyan) and trisymmetron units (red, yellow or blue–green–magenta). (i) Adjacent PBCV-1 pentasymmetron and trisymmetron. The position of the deposited coordinates for the protein trimer is shown in yellow. The subassembly corresponding to the icosahedral point asymmetric unit (one fifth of the pentasymmetron plus one third of the trisymmetron) is outlined in gray.
