The structure of human parvovirus B19
2 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Human parvovirus B19 is the only parvovirus known to be a human pathogen. The structure of recombinant B19-like particles has been determined to approximately 3.5-A resolution by x-ray crystallography and, to our knowledge, represents the first near-atomic structure of an Erythrovirus. The polypeptide fold of the major capsid protein VP2 is a "jelly roll" with a beta-barrel motif similar to that found in many...
