The first diffraction pattern of a crystalline single-stranded DNA virus has been obtained. Canine parvovirus was crystallized in a monoclinic P21 unit cell with a = 264.4 A, b = 350.3 A, c = 267.8 A and beta = 90.86 degrees (1 A = 0.1 nm). The diffraction pattern extends to at least 2.8 A resolution. Packing of the particles suggests that they have a diameter around 257 A, in excellent agreement with the reported molecular weight of 5.5 x 10(6).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010321 Parvoviridae A family of very small DNA viruses containing a single molecule of single-stranded DNA and consisting of two subfamilies: PARVOVIRINAE and DENSOVIRINAE. They infect both vertebrates and invertebrates. Picodnaviruses
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014961 X-Ray Diffraction The scattering of x-rays by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. Analysis of the crystal structure of materials is performed by passing x-rays through them and registering the diffraction image of the rays (CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, X-RAY).
