Summary
Structural studies on rotavirus using electron cryomicroscopy and computer image analysis have permitted visualization of each shell in the triple-layered rotavirus structure. Biochemical results have aided our interpretation of the structural organization of these layers and protein interactions seen in the three-dimensional structure, and have provided a better understanding of the structure-function relationships of the rotavirus structural proteins.
