capsid virus archaeal

Capsid heterodimer of the Sulfolobus islandicus filamentous virus (SIFV). The heterodimer consists of chains A and a from PDB entry 6WQ2 (All other chains and the DNA structure were removed). Multiple heterodimers can be printed to make the larger helical capsid structure as shown in the provided pictures.
