Zika Virus Immature and Mature Particles at Neutral pH

Description

Representation of the protein arrangements in the envelopes of Zika virus immature and mature particles under neutral pH conditions. In immature particles, the prM-E proteins adopt an arrangement reminiscent of a tripod. Conversely, mature particles exhibit a smooth virion morphology due to the arrangement of the E protein.
