image: A representative cyro-EM image of frozen Zika virus shows different virion phenotypes. A team led by Purdue University researchers, the first to determine the structure of the Zika virus, used cyro-electron microscopy to achieve a near-atomic resolution of 3.8Å . This material relates to a paper that appeared in the April 1, 2016, online issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by D. Sirohi at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, and colleagues was titled, "The 3.8Å resolution cryo-EM structure of Zika Virus." view more
