Surface representation of MS2 bacteriophage from Protein Data Bank file 1ZDH (Valegard et al. 1997), a crystal structure of in vitro assembled MS2 coat protein with synthetic RNA hairpins. A/B dimers are shown in blue and green. C/C dimers are shown in purple. The fivefold vertices appear as blue stars. The sixfold vertices appear as three purple and three green points.
