Timeline of the major achievements in structural virology by EM, SAXS and X-ray crystallographic techniques for the determination of virus structures. TMV, Tobacco mosaic virus; TNV, Tobacco necrosis virus; TBSV, Tomato bushy stunt virus; PRD1, lipid-containing bacteriophage PRD1; SBMV, Southern bean mosaic virus; BMV, Bromegrass mosaic virus; PM2, lipid-containing bacteriophage PM2. Coloured boxes mark those events where EM, X-ray or SAXS have been successfully combined or have provided equivalent resolution. Names beneath each landmark correspond to the author responsible for the accomplishment. Owing to their relevance, the DNA and myo- and hemoglobin structures are also included.
