A novel capsid protein network allows the characteristic internal membrane structure of Marseilleviridae giant viruses

Abstract Marseilleviridae is a family of giant viruses, showing a characteristic internal membrane with extrusions underneath the icosahedral vertices. However, such large objects, with a maximum diameter of 250 nm are technically difficult to examine at sub-nanometre resolution by cryo-electron mic...
