Unique architecture of thermophilic archaeal virus APBV1 and its genome packaging
The rod-shaped virus APBV1 is among the most thermostable viruses known. Here, Ptchelkine et al. determine its structure at near-atomic resolution, show that the DNA is packed as left-handed superhelix and identify extended hydrophobic interfaces that likely contribute to the extreme thermostability...
