Structural transitions during the scaffolding-driven assembly of a viral capsid

Viral assembly is a complex process that in tailed bacteriophages involves scaffolding proteins which coordinate assembly of the phage procapsid and are subsequently released during maturation. Here the authors reveal the conformational changes that accompany virion maturation, documenting how the d...
