Influenza A H5N1 Virus
David Goodsell's artistic illustration of the H5N1 virion in cross-section (left) and images of experimentally determined structures of select H5N1 proteins (right) created using the molecular visualization program Mol* at RCSB.org.
The experimentally determined structures shown, from top to bottom, are: RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (PDB ID 8h69), M2 ion channel (PDB ID 6nv1), hemagglutinin (PDB ID 2fk0), neuraminidase (PDB ID 2hu4), and nucleoprotein (PDB ID 7dxp).
