The use of low-resolution phasing followed by phase extension from 7.6 to 2.5 A resolution with noncrystallographic symmetry to solve the structure of a bacteriophage capsid protein.

P2, the major capsid protein of bacteriophage PM2, adopts the double β-barrel fold characteristic of the PRD1-adenoviral lineage. The 2.5 Å resolution X-ray data obtained by analysis of the two major lattices of a multiple crystal of P2 were phased by molecular replacement, using as a search model s...
