Tobacco necrosis virus is a spherical plant virus consisting of 180 copies of coat protein and a single-stranded RNA. The virus has been crystallized in cubic space group P4(2)32 with a = 338 A. The locations and the orientations of the two virus particles in the unit cell have been determined on the basis of the symmetries of both the particle and the crystal. The crystal diffracts X-rays to at least 2.5 A resolution and is quite stable to X-ray beams (1 A = 0.1 nm).

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).
