Sindbis virus,computer model. Cross section of sindbis virus created using UCSF Chimera molecular modelling software and data from cryo-electron microscopy. It shows the outer glycoprotein shell and the inner protein shell (known as the capsid) separated by a lipid bilayer. The interior of the shell normally contains ribonucleic acid (RNA). Sindbis virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause fever and rash. Cryo-electron microscopes fire beams of electrons at multiple angles at specimens kept at minus 150 degrees Celsius. The resulting 'slices' of data are reconstructed by programs,such as UCSF Chimera,into 3-D models | |
