Figure 1. Schematic representation of the capsid protein of flock house virus. Three sites have been previously identified as being critical for correct packaging of the viral genome into virus particles. These sites are highlighted in red in the crystal structure of the FHV capsid protein. Each of these sites is mutated to some degree (as indicated) within a population of virus particles due to the error-prone nature of the viral polymerase.
