X-ray Data
Unless otherwise noted images were created by Dr. Jean-Yves Sgro from published X-ray data on Silicon Graphics, Inc. (sgi) hardware with program GRASP (Graphical Representation and Analysis of Structural Properties) written by Dr. Anthony Nichols. A special depth cueing is added within GRASP to enhance the topographical aspect of the molecular surface. Published X-ray data are available at the Protein Data Bank (Now called Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB)) and for icosahedral viruses at the VIPER (Virus Particle ExpoloreR) site.
Other software used for depicting X-ray data are Rasmol, VMD and Qutemol (see references and links below)
CryoEM data
Reovirus images and the various images from the Encyclopedia of Virology Plus CD-ROM were created by Stephan Spencer while a student with Prof. Max Nibert . Unless otherwise noted, data files were from Tim Baker's Laboratory, Structural Virology (Purdue University).
Cryo-EM images were created with radial depth cueing within program IRIS Explorer v.2.2 (Spencer et al., 1997, see below).
