Rhinovirus

The common cold. A shell of 60 identical units around one strand of RNA, and each unit is four proteins cut from one longer chain. Human rhinovirus 14.

• The asymmetric unit is one protomer. The capsid is assembly 1, deposited as 60 models; the baker traces each and keys its chains by model, since 240 chains do not fit a PDB chain column.
• The pentamer is found, not numbered. Model 1's VP1 and its four nearest VP1s, checked to sit on a circle.
• The RNA is not in the file. It is disordered inside the shell, so the capsid is drawn hollow.
