Asymmetric cryo-EM reconstruction of phage MS2 reveals genome structure in situ
MS2 is a single-stranded RNA bacteriophage that infects its host via adsorption to bacterial pili. Here the authors visualize the MS2 virion with asymmetric cryo-EM reconstruction, revealing that the genome of MS2 adopts a specific structure of asymmetrically distributed stem-loops connected to the...
