Molecular architecture of the prolate head of bacteriophage T4

The head of bacteriophage T4 is a prolate icosahedron with one unique portal vertex to which the phage tail is attached. The three-dimensional structure of mature bacteriophage T4 head has been determined to 22-Å resolution by using cryo-electron microscopy. The T4 capsid has a hexagonal surface lat...
