RESUMO
The capsid of herpes simplex virus has an icosahedral surface lattice with a nonskew triangulation number, T=16. Nevertheless, the proteins arrayed on this lattice necessarily have an intrinsic handedness. We have determined the handedness of both the herpes simplex virus type 1 capsid and its precursor procapsid by a cryoelectron microscopic tilting method.
