Penicillium chrysogenum virus (PcV) capsid structure

Cryo-EM near-atomic structure of a dsRNA fungal virus shows ancient structural motifs preserved in the dsRNA viral lineage.

50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.8, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA

Samples were applied to grids, blotted 7 seconds, and plunged into liquid ethane (FEI VITROBOT MARK II).
