A) Particle structure of tokyovirus. From the outside, MCP: major capsid protein (light blue), mCP: minor capsid protein (blue), ScP: scaffold protein (yellow), IM: internal membrane (grey), covering the viral DNA inside. * is the protruding structure on the internal membrane. B) A novel network structure of mCP and ScP (yellow) in which 7 types of mCP structures are combined in a complex manner. mCPs are ScP are viewed from inside the shell. A triangular mCP network extends between the 5-fold vertices (bottom left and right).
